Ain't That A Rock & Roll

words and music by John Eddie

Well now my daddy left me nothin' but the family name
Momma, she's a saint, Lord, she ain't to blame
Me, I hitched a ride on the Mystery Train
Now I'm another year older in a young man's game


Ain't That A Rock & Roll
Ain't That A Rock & Roll
Well now I step in to the ring like I'm King Creole
Bang bang shang-a-lang
Rock & Roll
Uh-huh

Well meanwhile, baby , back here in the States
I'm trackin' down a Cadillac with Hollywood plates
Well there's a blonde at the wheel sporting bombshell shades
And if I had a record deal I bet she woulda stayed

Ain't That A Rock & Roll
Ain't That A Rock & Roll
She said your love is just a prison
And I'm on parole
She said, "Bye-bye Baby wants to Rock & Roll"
Uh-huh

Well I'm runnin' through the jungle with the usual crew
All the rebels wanna rumble just for somethin' to do
Well the devil's got a checkbook and the rent is due
I said I sold my soul to Rock & Roll before I met you

Ain't That A Rock & Roll
Ain't That A Rock & Roll
Well now I step into the ring like I'm King Creole
Bang bang shang-a-lang
Rock & Roll
Ain't That A Rock & Roll
Ain't That A Rock & Roll
Now I borrowed from the best and the rest I stole
Bang bang shang-a-lang
Rock & Roll
Uh-huh

(Repeat)
