Oh, I can still remember when I bought my first guitar
Remember walking from the shop to put it proudly in my car
And my family listened fifty times to my two song repertoire
I told my mum her only son was gonna be a star
Well, I bought all the Beatles records, sounded just like Paul
I bought all the old Chuck Berry's, 78's and all
And I sat by my record player, playin' every note they played
I watched 'em all on TV and copied every move they made
Oh, Rock n' Roll, I gave you all the best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moonlit summer nights
I was so busy in the back room writin' love songs to you
But you were changin' your direction
And you never even knew that I was always
Just one step behind you
Well, '66 seemed like the year I was really goin' somewhere
I was living in San Francisco, with flowers in our hair
Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand
The guys and me thought we were more than just another band
Oh, Rock n' Roll, I gave you all the best years of my life
All the crazy lazy young days, all the magic moonlit nights
I was so busy on the road singin' love songs to you
While you were changin' your direction
And you never even knew that I was always
Just one step behind you
Well, '71 I was all alone when I met Sarah Jane
I was tryna go it solo with someone else's band
And she came up to me softly, and she took me by the hand
She listened to my problems and she seemed to understand
And she followed me to London to a hundred hotel rooms
To a hundred record companies who didn't like my tunes
She followed me back to Tennessee, where she finally made me see
I'm just plain old country boy and that's all I'll ever be
Oh, Rock n' Roll, I gave you all the best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moonlit summer nights
Although I never knew the magic of makin' it with you
I thank the Lord with country songs
Doing what I was born to do when I was always
Just one step behind you
Oh, Rock n' Roll, I gave you all the best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moon-lit summer nights
