| Sometimes I get to missing
|
| When we were strictly rock and roll
|
| We didn’t know no better than to play all night
|
| We were subject to lose control
|
| And play too loud
|
| And run off the crowd
|
| We didn’t have much of a repertoire
|
| Just a few licks that we could steal
|
| We didn’t know but a couple of chords
|
| But we played 'em both with feel
|
| And it felt unreal
|
| Yes, it felt unreal
|
| Nothing fancy
|
| Strictly R and R
|
| Strictly rock (Strictly rock)
|
| Strictly roll (Strictly roll)
|
| Whoa, solid gold
|
| Simple music (Simple music)
|
| Straight from the heart
|
| Strictly unrefined, genuine R and R
|
| Whoa, show 'em, son
|
| We’ve been through a lot of changes
|
| And we’ve learned a lot of things
|
| The guitar players learned how to play
|
| And the singers have learned to sing
|
| State of the art
|
| Got an album on the charts
|
| State of the art
|
| Harmony in four parts, ooh
|
| Now that we’ve hit the big time
|
| Sometimes a good feel is hard to find
|
| And I can’t help but thinkin'
|
| We might have left a little something behind
|
| Have we gone too far
|
| From strictly R and R?
|
| Have we lost the soul
|
| Of strictly rock and roll?
|
| Strictly rock (Strictly rock)
|
| Strictly roll (Strictly roll)
|
| Whoa, solid gold
|
| Simple music (Simple music)
|
| Straight from the heart
|
| Strictly unrefined, genuine R and R, yeah, yeah
|
| Strictly rock (Strictly rock)
|
| Strictly roll (Strictly roll)
|
| Whoa, solid gold
|
| Simple music (Simple music)
|
| Straight from the heart
|
| Strictly unrefined, genuine R and R
|
| Let me talk to you |
