Live Long Rock & Roll (feat. Don Mescall, Gary Brooker, Nick Mason, Paul McCartney, Paul Carrack, Chris Stainton, Albert Lee & Paul Brady)

I joined a band when I had just turned seventeen A battered old guitar my uncle gave to me I learned some chords and burnt my fingers to the bone Late nights playing shicka-dom-dee, shicka-dicka-dom-dicka-dom-da-hay! Played every hell ole gig from Belfast to L.A. Some memories I kept, the best got smoked away That lonely road called out to those who loved to play Big dreams playin' shicka-dom-dee, shicka-dicka-dom-dicka-dom-da-hay! Rock 'n' roll, you're both my enemy and friend Rock 'n' roll, you're gonna save my soul or kill me in the end Rock 'n' roll, the only life I've ever known Live long, rock 'n' roll We made a record and that took us to the top Man, it felt so high, like it was never gonna stop And each time I promised her I'd settle down and stay I left singin' shicka-dom-dee, shicka-dicka-dom-dicka-dom-da-hay! Rock 'n' roll, you're both my enemy and friend Rock 'n' roll, you're gonna save my soul or kill me in the end Rock 'n' roll, the only life I've ever known Live long, rock 'n' roll Those dreams kept turning Each city skyline left a shine on me, yeah But the fire kept burnin' Its flame was keepin' us alive, alive Rock 'n' roll, you're both my enemy and friend Rock 'n' roll, you're gonna save my soul or kill me in the end Rock 'n' roll, the only life I've ever known Live long, rock 'n' roll Long live rock 'n' roll Live long, rock 'n' roll
