Rock n Roll

I can still remember when I bought my first guitar

And we must have played the wildest stuff we had ever played
And the crowds cried out for us, well we thought we had it made
Rock and roll I gave you the best years of my life
All the crazy lazy young days all the magic moon at night

I told her all my troubles and she seemed to understand
And she followed me through London, through the hundred hotelrooms
Through a hundred record compagny`s, who didn`t like my tune
She followed me when finaly I sold my o
