BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Rock Is My Life, And This Is My Song

It's a hurried up life

But it's the life I choose

No use in asking me to slow down

Cause I got nothing to lose



But time and time is all I've got

You know I born standing up with a guitar in my hand

I'm not trying to come on like hollywood

But hollywood is what I am



When we come into a new town

Everybody's there

When we play our music

Hands are in the air



When the music's over

You wonder where we are

I'm standing in the silence

With my old guitar



Rock is my life and this is my song

It's a crying shame

That some of us have not survived

No use in asking how it happened

But very few are left alive



I just wanna keep on makin' music

We gotta keep on keepin' on

You're only as good as your last record

I know that someday we'll be gone, gone



When we come into a new town

Everybody's there

When we play our music

Hands are in the air



When the music's over

You wonder where we are

I'm standing in the silence

With my old guitar



Rock is my life and this is my song

When we come into a new town

Everybody's there

When we play our music

Candles light the air



When the music's over, over

You wonder where we are

I'm standing in the silence

With my old guitar, my only friend

Rock is my life and this is my song
