Rockin' Away

I was born a singer Wasn't something I planned All I ever wanted was to be what I am I was just thirteen years old I heard a record that stopped me cold I bought a Sears guitar and I started to jam Yeah Nothing could be any better The music fit me to the letter I was feelin' it back in the day We were rockin' away Just me in my room with The Beatles Wore those old records out with the needle Just like it was stuck in my vein When we were rockin' away Rockin' away I grew up in the 60's '67 was the summer of love Those were times when the music had something to say Hitched a ride with a rock and roll band Made a demo, it was more than a feeling We shipped it off and we thought we were Well on our way Well on our way I remember we all got together Held our breath as we opened the letter From the record execs in LA They sent us back on our way While the suits tried hard to define us Nobody wanted to sign us It was clear there were dues left to pay We kept rockin' away Rockin' away Yeah Thirty years since we wrote those songs Now when we play them people sing along I'm blessed the fans have stuck with us all of the way What can I say Nothing could be any better It was more than a feeling whenever We were kicking it back in the day When we were rockin' away No one could feel any better The music fits me to the letter And it's not very different today We keep rockin' away Rockin' away We're still rockin' today And we're rockin' away
