Remember when you were leaving home
Took your stones and your guitar
And you took an oath
They cried
Billy, but what would you do alone
And they couldn't understand
You said I just want to move on
This is a rock and roll world
This is a rock and roll world
This is a rock and roll world
You won't see me no more
And now and then you made it big
And when it hurts it hurts a lot
Sometime she was there to stop your hurt now
But you had to leave her behind
Even when you chased the words round and around in your head
This is a rock and roll world
This is a rock and roll world
This is a rock and roll world
Roll, roll, rock, rock, rock,
Roll, roll, roll, rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll, rock, roll, rock and roll
Roll, roll, rock, rock, rock,
Roll, roll, roll, rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll, rock, roll, rock and roll
This is a rock and roll world
This is a rock and roll world
This is a rock and roll world
You won't see me no more
And now your playing's just a game
Yeah all you young boys
You look the same
You got a rock and roll face
You got a rock and roll smile
Yeah rock and roll eyes
You got a way of lookin' twice your size
And you're singin' you're singin'
This is a rock and roll world
This is a rock and roll world
This is a rock and roll world
Roll, roll, rock, rock, rock,
Roll, roll, roll, rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll, rock, roll, rock and roll
Roll, roll, rock, rock, rock,
Roll, roll, roll, rock, rock, rock
Roll, roll, roll, rock, roll, rock and roll
