It's Rock and Roll Lyrics

"It's Rock And Roll"
(as performed by Lyle Lovett on "Natural Forces")(Spoken) In the world of Rock And Roll
There is no time to stop
It's a fast lane to a fast plane
When you're flyin' for the topAnd the bright lights fall down on you
and the money does the same
And all those hungry people
Are screaming out your nameAnd the little teeny boppers
Will beg for one night stands
So they can feel important
When they tell all their friendsThe one you hate the most
Is the newest up-and-comer
And the one you love the most
Just ran off with your drummer(Singing)
And the ages will abuse you
Promoters wanna use you
So they can line their pockets
With what's left down in your soulAnd all that autographing'

And all those people clapping
There ain't no time for napkin'
In the world of Rock 'N Roll(Opening rock riff)
I blew 'em all away in Cincinnatti
I left 'em in the aisles in L.A.
Had 'em standing out the door down in Miami
And the were (lining up?) in Tampa BayTomorrow it's another show
And talking' on the radio
And rolling down that lost highway
So hang on baby, it's a fast ride maybe
But it's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll...You know I don't even love you
You know I won't remember your name
And you know you don't wanna love me
I've got another girl on the wayTomorrow it's another show
Dallas, San Antonio
Chicago, San Francisco, Bombay
So hang on baby, it's a fast ride maybe
But it's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll...(Guitar solo /bridge)It's all right
We're gonna rock all night
Baby, 'cause it's rock and roll
It's all right
You're gonna rock all night
Baby it's all right,
'Cause it's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll...Janis died when she was sleeping
And I was only seventeen
Elvis died at home in Memphis
But that won't ever happen to meSo line me up and let me go
I got to do another show
And bring the people down to their knees
So hang on baby, it's a fast ride maybe
But it's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll
It's rock and roll...It's rock and roll...
It's rock and roll...
It's rock and roll...
It's rock and roll...
It's rock and roll...
It's rock and roll...
It's rock and roll...
It's rock and roll...
