Rock 'n' Roll Stole My Soul

(albüm: Growin' Up - 1997)

Tom had a job in a town outside the city
Was working very hard
Life was looking very pretty
Nothing going wrong with the rockabilly song
That radio was playing

But then came around
The Rock 'n' Roll beginning
Tom left the town and got into the singing
Nothing was the same since he read a book
Saying "Wheels are Freedom" nowadays

Rock 'n' Roll stole my soul
Rocking down the river like a rolling stone
Rock 'n' Roll stole my soul
Rocking down the river like a rolling stone

Tom had a band and made a good a' living
Toured all the land
His dreams had been fulfilling
Was bringing in some cash
But spent it all on hash
That's when his life began to bend

Times were looking bad
He was lying' in a clinic
He lost all he had
The world was looking cynic
His innocence was gone
But it didn't take him long
Now he's singing on the street
The song of his defeat
Oh yeah

Rock 'n' Roll stole my soul
Rocking down the river like a rolling stone
Rock 'n' Roll stole my soul
Rocking down the river like a rolling stone

Beans, beans
The musical fruit
The more you eat
The more you toot
The more you toot
The better you feel
So let's have beans
For every meal

Rock 'n' Roll stole my soul
Rocking down the river like a rolling stone
Rock 'n' Roll stole my soul
Rocking down the river like a rolling stone
