rock n Roll Dreams
By Philip Cody

I made my bones
At the wheel of a 58 Chevy
With a lid of marijuana
And a toxic blonde by my side
I was a long haired hippie freak
Looking for a stairway to heaven
I was wasted
I was strung out
I didn’t know what anything was all about
But I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin
Never said no
To the honky tonk queens
And all the free love I was given
Singin
Sha-na-na-na-na
Na-na
All night long

I fell to earth
In a blaze of love crazed confusion
I was a wide eyed wannabe
Working class hero cliché
I got my fifteen minutes
And a handful of half-hearted blow jobs
I got beat up
I was bummed out
I didn’t know what anything was all about
But I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin
Never said no
To the honky tonk queens
And all the free love I was given
Singin
Sha-na-na-na-na
Na-na
All night long

I came of age
In a time of remarkable changes
I got an education
In the fine art of rhythm and blues
Those days are gone
But the changes still play out inside me
I can stand up
I can sing out
And it doesn’t really matter what it’s all about
I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin
Never said no
To the honky tonk queens
And all the free love I was given
Singin
Sha-na-na-na-na
Na-na
All night long
Sha-na-na-na-na
Na-na
All night long
