Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
1/22/2012
R. Byrd

Seventeen, ready to play
I’ve got girls on my mind, Rock ‘n’ Roll in my veins
No getting worked up ‘bout the future, gonna be a big deal one day

We were the Young Dudes, wide eyed with hope
Down at Max’s Kansas City, tryin’ to learn the ropes
From the glam rockers and glitter girls runnin’ fast, easy and broke

I’d lace up my boots and spike my hair
The look was to look like you don’t care
On the street I caught more than a few nasty stares
And I… liked it!

Cause the girls all wanted…Rock ‘n’ Rock Boys
Girls all wanted…Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
How those girls all went for…Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
I gotta be one of the…Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys

I can still hear that jukebox like it’s ‘74
Sweet Jane, Stay With Me, Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
And if you can’t rock me, somebody will, that’s for sure

Those lusty nights, holdin’ up the bar
While in the back room Iggy’s showin’ Hunter his scars
But behind those shades the vision fades
For he knows the ride can only go so far

There‘s Alice in the corner, bottle in his hand
He’ll drink you under the table, just cause he can
Ronson, such a pretty boy, chattin’ up a pair of legs
I got quite the education.. mercy!
Cause the girls all wanted… Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
Girls all wanted… Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
How those girls all went for… Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
I gotta be one of the…Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys

Got nothin’ to complain about, things worked out fine for me
I got most of what I wished for, but nothing comes free
As I write this song I sit here, 6 string razor on my lap
There’s only movin’ forward, cause there ain’t no goin’ back

Cause the girls all wanted...Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
The girls all wanted…Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
How those girls all went for…Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
I gotta be one of the…Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys

(Repeat)

I’m always gonna be one of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Boys
