Rock 'n' Roll Guitar Picker

(album: RX5 - 1981)

I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
Never wanted to be a big town city slicker
My friends said to me, they said you don't understand
You never make a living in a rock 'n roll band
But I play it loud, and the music keeps rocking on

Well, my moma she said, what you gonna do
When you get past twenty-one
Said, I don't think I'll make it but if I'm mistaken
Well, the music will be rocking on
I said rock 'n roll music is getting me high
I wanna rock 'n roll until the day that I die
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man

Well honey, let me take you to a rock 'n roll dance
I'll tell you how to do it if you give me a chance
I'll give you good music and you're gonna do right
Baby, let you rock 'n roll all through the night

I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man

Well, back in my school I was a rock 'n roll fool
I didn't learn my lessons and I thought I was cool
The headmaster caught me, the things that he taught me
Will keep me out of trouble but rock 'n roll rules

Well, I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man
I never wanted to be a big town city slicker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man, yeah!
