You had better watch out yeh
when this cat is around he's motorbike child
he just takes to the road,
a riding chicken alone,
man I tell you he's wild.
With his hair greased back
he hits the track
be it town or freeway
he rides speedway,
old man roller just gets going - yeh
Rock an rollin' giving everything he got
When he's dancin'he rocks around the clock
just a rollin' his everything in life is rock'n roll
rock and rollin' he twists the night away
got a joke box and rock is all it
plays just a rollin'he doesn't have a care
just rock'n roll
He still lives in the fifties, yeh
it seems that the times went and left him behind
everytime he's in town the people gather around
think he's out of his mind
(Mid + Chorus)
He really doesn't give a damn
what people think of him
they call him old man roller
they laugh behind his shoulder
they call him old man roller
rock and rollin', rock and rollin'.

You sit on the riverbank,
you're watching the boats go by.
You're twenty years old and it's burnin',
gotta steal to survive,
telling too many lies,
but you're ready and the plans they are made.
You gotta get away,
you gotta see for yourself.
There's a world out there just waiting,
giving up this street life has been on your mind.
So move on today.
An I'll meet ya - down in L. A.,
New York, Chicago onto Santa Fe.
Once you've started out on that road,
you aint ever comin' back.
And if you wanna go to sunny California
they got the girls who'll keep you warmer.
Once you've started out on that road,
you aint ever comin' back.
You sit by the railroad track.
you're watchin' the trains go past.
Thirty years old and it's churning.
You're still using the lines,
but the're way out a time.
So catch the next plane going.
You gotta get away,
you gotta see for yourself.
There's a world out there just waiting.
Giving up this steet life has been on your mind.
So move on today.
Years fly past, and time is lost.
You never worry at all,
all you wanna do in life
is follow the long winding road.
You even tried saving money to buy a few things.
But that was never the way.
The way to get back on the road again.
Headin' for a new town every day.
And I'll meet ya - Down in L. A.,
New York, Chicago onto Santa Fe.
Once you've started out on that road,
you ain't ever comin' back

My Love,
the teardrops in your eyes again
was made me realize again
that all I did was wrong.
But you know
I was blind
to love,
so blind
to your ways,
all of your ways.
They were for me,
and for me alone you gave it all,
like a fool, I didn't know,
you would soon be gone.
But to late,
I see your face,
I see the place
where everyone used to play.
Playing games of love with you.
It used to be so right,
believe me when I say,
making love as easy for us,
but you know
our love was wrong.
So wrong, and love has faded like the sun.
Now you know
our love was wrong.
I'm sorry that I made you cry.
My Love,
I said Goodbye,
and now I know,
maybe I should apologize
for what I did was wrong.
But you know I was blind
to love,
so blind
to your ways,
all of your ways.
(Chorus)

I aint the way I used to be.
But hey! Babe I'm fine.
Well, I guess I may have changed
but who's the same.
All of the time
I missed the sign
lost the way.
I was almost goin' stone insane.
You know what you've been doin'
Babe you're foolin' yourself.
When you were playin' for time
you had the best of those days.
I was a fool, and so blind,
it was a game that you played.
Now that I can see for free why should I pay.
Even though I need some change,
I'm gonna make it clear from today.
I'm gonna step ahead grab a chance.
Maybe fall in love, have a good romance.
I know what I'm doin' Babe, gonna
leave you behind.
(Chorus)

I went into a dance hall,
I was lookin' for a little romance.
She was standing on the floor alone
I thought I might take a chance.
But when she started to dance.
Man, She was dancing on the floor
I knew then,
I had to move then,
had to find me another girl.
Thought I found somebody else, said
Goodbye to my little friend,
but this other chick
couldn't do the things
that I wanted for myself.
When I looked around,
she was dancin' right beside the back door.
What a mover,
she was a groover,
she was just what I was lookin' for.
What a dancer, what a dancer
Man, you oughta see her move.
What a dancer,
but a romancer,
was something she just couldn't do.
When I left the dance hall
she was walking next to me.
All the guys they stood and laughed,
they knew how she could be.
When we got outside,
Lord, she kissed me
and said Goodbye.
I had to leave her,
couldn't please her
I just hung my head and I cried.
(Chorus)
All the signs
should have told me
I didn't stand a chance.
No matter what I did,
all she had in her head
was to get on that floor
and dance.
(Chorus)

You're such a pretty schoolgirl movin'
in a grown up world
you go to all the Rock shows hangin' round
the back doors you're leaving way to fast.
I know you're sucha good girl
but you're livin' in a crazy world
you're really goin' nowhere
and you're movin' like a fast train
you'll never loose the past.
You're lookin' so cool
when you're standin' by the stage
just you wait cause you got a lot of lovin' to make
It's what they want from you
and I know you want it too.
Oh, sweet little Lady
well you're a cute little thing
but I don't wanna know your name
sweet little Baby
and you're a little roller skater
no one does it better than my
sweet little Lady
when you wanna give some lovin'
I know where you go runnin' down
to where the bands play anytime
night or day
you do your thing so fine.
You're such a pretty schoolgirl
gettin' old before your time
you go to all the Rock shows
hangin' round the back doors
you're leaving way to fast.
(Chorus)

Papa said I'm a fool tonight.
He doesn't really try to know me.
I don't care!
The guys are here
I've got the dice
You don't have to go to school today
if this is what you wanna learn.
All the cats they wanted to play.
C'Mon, Man,
Throw them.
It doesn't matter
what game you play,
it doesn't really matter
what game you choose.
If you don't have Lady Luck,
pretty sure your gonna lose.
Roll 'em once, roll 'em twice,
you got to roll again
If you're thinking to win
you're just a fool,
Shake 'em once, shake 'em twice,
you got to shake again you got to roll.'em
you got to throw them for me.
I'm sailing down the Mississippi,
working like I know how,
I didn't know which way I was goin'
but that's o. k. right now.
A gamblin' man, it's all I'll ever be,
but don't you ever worry.
I was born, when the odds were wrong,
my Mama left me in a sure fire hurry.
(Mid + Chorus)

This war is done, we journey on
searching always for the other side.
The death bells lonely cry says Goodbye
We traveled far, fought and won this war.
Thank God we're still alive!
Many men have died!
I still hear them cry.
On and on we go
where will we be tomorrow
on and on
sailing through the night
on and on we go
we want to reach land tomorrow
so blow you trade winds
blow us through the night.
We've fought and won many wars.
I know someday
we will surely fall.
It's our destiny.
Then the wind will softly tell the story
of the men who die in glory and in shame.
But they all die in vain.
It's all so wrong
young men grow old in such a short time
God where is your mind!
But the lords of war say
this is how they play
So it stays!
The moon tonight, cries alone
a filling star is brushed away.
Only fools would say we'll be saved.
This war is done, we must travel on
always searching for the other side.
The death bells ghostly cry.
Is ringing in my mind.
(Chorus)
They hoisted up the sail
and they let the flag unfurl
then the wind did surely blow
so they crossed the spanish main
thats another world away.
What awaits them no one knows
The devil alone will surely know
them for all the wrongs we've done.
Who'll save us.
(Chorus)
