Lyrics Rock and Roll (I Gave You the Best Years of My Life)

I can still remember when bought my first guitar remember

Just how good the feeling was put it proudly in my car

And my family listened fifty times to my two songs repertoire

And I told mama her only son was gonna be a star

Bought all the Beatles records sounded just like Paul

Bought all the old

Chuck Berry's seventy-eight's and all

And I sat by my recordplayer playing every note they played

And I watched them all on TV making every move they made

Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the best years of my live

All the dreamy, sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights

I was so busy in the backroom writing love songs to you

While you were changing your direction and never even knew

That I was always just one step behind you

Sixty-six seems like the year

I was really going somewhere

We were living in San Fransisco with flowers in our hair

Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand

That the guys and me were something more than just another band

And then sixty-nine in L.A. came around so soon

We were really making headway and writing lots of tunes

And we must have played the wildest stuff we had ever played

And the way the crowds cried out for us, well thought we had it made

Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the best years of my live

All the crazy, lazy, young days all the magic moon at night

I was so busy on the road singing love songs to you

While you were changing your direction and never even knew

That I was always just one step behind you

Do do do do, do do do do

Seventy-one in Soho when I saw Suzanne

I was tryin' to go at solo with someone elses band

And she came up to me lately took her by the hand

And I told her all my troubles and she seemed to understand

And she followed me through London through a hundred hotelrooms

Through a hundred record company's who didn't like my tune

And she followed me when finaly I sold my old guitar

And she tried to help me understand

I'll never be a star

Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the best years of my live

All the dreamy, sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights

And though I never knew the magic of making it with you

That I thank the Lord for giving me the little day I do

Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the best years of my live

All the dreamy, sunny sundays all the moonlit summer nights

I was so busy in the backroom writing love songs to you

While you were changing your direction and never even knew

Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the best years of my live

All the crazy, lazy, young days all the magic moon at night

I was so busy on the road singing love songs to you

While you were changing your direction and never even knew
