Well I was born
The year that disco died
And U2 was in high school
Thank the lord that they survived
Got my first taste on a Seger '45
And since that kiss
I rocked out all day and partied
every night
We still argue about who's better
Elton John or Billy Joel
We still wonder if Kurt really
wrote the song she sang in Hole
No we'll never stop believing
That's the journey of our lives
So won't you help me pour some
sugar on these memories tonight
Sing it
Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music
for the soul
Sing it
Don't give up don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and
records made of gold
Long live rock and roll
Summer of '96 I got my first
guitar
I played it till fingers said
you're gonna be a star
Grounge was everything at least
it was to me
A Marshall in my Chevy sprint
Just winding down a dream
We still argue about who's better
Motley Crew or G and R
We still can't believe Van Helen
turned into Van Hagar
Now the record shops are gone'
for good
And no one seems to care
But me and you and all our friends
Keep living on that prayer
Sing it
Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music
for the soul
Sing it
Don't give up don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and
records made of gold
Long live rock and roll
Went to be in Cleaveland
Woke up in Tenessee
No matter where I'll roll tonight
I'm chasing history
We still argue about who's better
The Beatles or the Stones
They're forever 27
Jimmy Janice Brian and Jones
And we stand here in their memory
'Cause their songs they still
survive
So throw your lighters up
And darling sing with me tonight
Come on
Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music
for the soul
Sing it
Don't give up don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and
records made of gold
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music
for the soul
Sing it
Don't give up don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and
records made of gold
Long live rock and roll
