Old Rock 'n Roller

(альбом: Country Way Of Life - 1995)

I paid a visit to a country pub, it was a winter Saturday night
When I walked in the lights were dim but the bar was packed out tight
Up on the stage in the spotlight, singing those country tunes
I caught his eye, I realized he was someone that I once knew
He took a break, I said: "G'day mate
I haven't seen you for a while
I thought you gave up years ago when heavy metal came in style."
He just smiled and winked at me
He said: "My second life's begun
I'm out of retirement, I'm working on the country run."

Now he's an old rock 'n roller playing country tunes
He don't screech to heavy metal guitar
He don't go on rapping off like a goon
He's living out his golden years doing what he likes to do
He's an old rock 'n roller playing country tunes

Back on the stage, he was singing again
I watched the way he handled the crowd
'Twas a far far cry from the city pub where he used to play so loud
And then he lowered his voice and tone and mesmerized the room
He got us all singing with a good old country tune

Yeah, he's an old rock 'n roller playing country tunes
He don't screech to heavy metal guitar
He don't go on rapping off like a goon
He's living out his golden years doing what he likes to do
He's an old rock 'n roller playing country tunes
(Yeah!)

He's an old rock 'n roller playing country tunes
He don't screech to heavy metal guitar
He don't go on rapping off like a goon
He's living out his golden years doing what he likes to do
He's an old rock 'n roller playing country tunes

He's an old rock 'n roller playing country tunes
(That's right)
