All For The Love Of Rock & Roll

(album: Monster - 2012)

Yeah, yeah
I was just another child growing wild in the city
Just getting by on a dream
I was thinking life was gonna be so pretty
It was clearly mean
Yeah

I hit the road having no expectations
Just leaving where I'd been
I didn't care about the fame or the money
Show me a place to play and I'm gonna go

'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told
'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll

I hitched a ride on a trip going nowhere
Got fifty bucks and a bite
Ain't a lot of dough but when you know the feeling
Well it feels alright, alright

When you finish with the band
And some honey grabs your hand
Yeah
You get to thinking you might
That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger
That's when she tells you that she's single tonight

Well it's all for the love of rock and roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told
'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll

I've got it made when I hit the stage at quarter to nine (yeah)
Watch 'em dancing in the haze and the band's really pumping
Feel the rush and that's all it's about
I'm in for life and there's no getting out of the way

Yeah
All I want
All I need

Yeah, 'cause it's all for the love of rock and roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told
'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll
All for my love of rock and roll
