| He was a tough fifteen
|
| He heard a guitar scream
|
| And he knew he’d never be the same
|
| It was magic
|
| Like fire running through his veins
|
| Got him a six string
|
| Make your head ring
|
| They said the boy must be insane
|
| No one could understand
|
| How good that guitar felt in his hands
|
| He played it loud
|
| To shut the whole world out
|
| He thought he heard the crowd scream
|
| Calling out his name
|
| And he showed them all
|
| In the name of rock and roll
|
| He stood tall
|
| In the name of rock and roll
|
| He did it all
|
| In the name of rock and roll
|
| And he never stopped
|
| This city kid was born to rock
|
| Played that scene cool and clean
|
| Rocked them down on a skin tight jeans
|
| On the streets
|
| They said the kid was gonna be king, yeah
|
| Felt the beat, felt the heat
|
| The road was hotter than he thought it could be
|
| Closed his eyes…
|
| And never stopped chasing the dream, that’s right
|
| Could he make it play
|
| Does he got what it takes
|
| To go all the way
|
| Well, there’s a price to pay… yeah
|
| But he showed them all
|
| In the name of rock and roll
|
