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
