There was a day when I was so lonely
                                     
Time passed me by I was more dead than alive
                       
Every minute was like an hour
                     
Every day was an eternity
                               
I looked for hope but all around me
                    
People didn't seem to care


                                 
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
                          
That rock 'n' roll


                                
If I ever thought that I could be happy
                            
Dreams like that always faded away
                            
And all the girls already had boyfriends
                          
I was alone as lonely could be
                              
I laid asleep and turned on the radio
                            
The music to me was like a dream


                                 
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
                          
That rock 'n' roll


                                   
You walk around but you gotta have a reason
                                        
Something worth getting up in the morning for
                                            
My heart looked to art and I found the Beatles
                         
Oh God I was and am a true disciple
                                    
Look for the fun you'll start a happy cycle
                           
The music will make you come alive


                                 
Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul
                          
That rock 'n' roll



       
	  She was crying just like a baby
       	
	  Didn't wanna fight or more like maybe
       	
	  You ought to get on home at night
       	
	  Keep the battle to the right
       
	  Seeing the love and adultry
       
	  And wonderin' who was in the outfield
       
	  Swear I know the truth
       
	  And I ain't wearin' nobody's shoes
       
	  I got some dollar on high look out now
       
	  It's shining, with a bottle of knuckleheads
       
	  She's like a drunken rat cat, oh
       
	  I guess you're coming out the backdoor
       
	  She did all right it's a battle or fight
       
	  So I feel all empty now
       
	  You try to hold a figure eight
       
	  She said what's the Anti-Christ
       
	  He said oh what did you do to her
       
	  It's probably she's been talking to Lucifer
       
	  Is that really the night
       
	  Oh, my, uh, uh
       
	  Alright
       
	  Hey
