Daniel Johnston - Rock 'n' Roll/ega lyrics

rate me

There was a day when I was so lonely<br />

Time passed me by<br />

I was more dead than alive<br />

Every minute was like an hour<br />

Every day was an eternity<br />

I looked for hope but all around me<br />

People didn't seem to care<br />

<br />

CHORUS<br />

Oh that rock 'n' roll it saved my soul<br />

That rock 'n' roll<br />

<br />

If I ever thought that I could be happy<br />

Dreams like that always faded away<br />

And all the girls already had boyfriends<br />

I was alone as lonely could be<br />

I laid asleep and turned on the radio<br />

The music to me was like a dream<br />

<br />

CHORUS<br />

<br />

You walk around but you gotta have a reason<br />

Something worth getting up in the morning for<br />

My heart looked to art and I found the Beatles<br />

Oh God I was and am a true disciple<br />

Look for the fun you'll start a happy cycle<br />

The music will make you come alive<br />

<br />

CHORUS<br />

<br />

She was crying just like a baby<br />

Didn't wanna fight or more like maybe<br />

You ought to get on home at night<br />

Keep the battle to the right<br />

Seeing the love and adultry<br />

And wonderin' who was in the outfield<br />

Swear I know the truth<br />

And I ain't wearin' nobody's shoes<br />

I got some dollar on high look out now<br />

It's shining, with a bottle of knuckleheads<br />

She's like a drunken rat cat, oh<br />

I guess you're coming out the backdoor<br />

She did all right it's a battle or fight<br />

So I feel all empty now<br />

You try to hold a figure eight<br />

She said what's the Anti-Christ<br />

He said oh what did you do to her<br />

It's probably she's been talking to Lucifer<br />

Is that really the night<br />

Oh, my, uh, uh<br />

Alright<br />

Hey<br />
