Steppenwolf - For Rock-N-Roll lyrics



Words and music by John Kay

I recall the very first time

I heard that Rock 'n Roll on the radio

Still I feel it like the first time

Send shivers down my back right to my toes

Now everybody in the school yard

Was rockin' for their life the whole week through

Come Friday afternoon when school was over

We'd plan our secret rendezvous

And late at night when all were sleeping

I would steal away to find my crew

Oh, the time that we did have

Tales I could tell

Wild and crazy night out on patrol

Chances we'd take

Passion burned like fire in our soul

For Rock' n Roll

I learned to rock while still a baby

Learned to roll while still a boy

But I did not rock-n-roll 'til I was able

To keep myself quite gainfully employed

And I've traveled just about the whole world over

And you know there ain't too much I've not enjoyed

Oh, the time that we did have…etc.

In all these years it gave me power

To keep moving

It's the only thing I know

It's the only way I'll go

What I am is what I owe

To Rock' n Roll
