Lyrics

Long ago I had a teenage rock band
Back in the middle of high school
We had the power, we were rockin' hard and
The ladies thought we were so cool
Times were tough, when the school bell rang
Raced down to the steel mill
working part time to buy guitars

* We used to rock'n'roll all night long
Party animals all night long
Now we sing the blues all night long
Following the rules all day long
Rock'n'roll kings of high school
Used to rock'n'roll all night long

There was a girl who was always watching
Man, I wish you could see her
Look in her eyes, I was playin' six-string
Our hearts burnin' with fever
But there's no music for me now
And she lives with some rock star
But I remember way back when

* Repeat

You get them blues
Those 9-to-5 blues
I'm talkin' about
Working hard ever year

Got a career and a credit card now
Got our eyes in the future
With all the others in suburban living
Responsibility is looming
Once were young and wild and free
Guitars on our shoulder
But all I got now is memories

* Repeat X2

Rock'n'roll all night long
Used to rock'n'roll all night long
Used to rock'n'roll all night long
