I wasn't there.
I wasn't there.
When I was needed.
I wasn't there.
Outside on the road,
playing with my rock and roll band.
I wasn't there.
I should have been right by her side.
Like a good man ought to be.
But this rock and roll music shot got a hold on me.
I wasn't there.
I wasn't there.
When my shack was burning.
I wasn't there.
I was out on the road,
playing with my rock and roll band.
I wasn't there.
Put out the fire.
I was wailing my guitar.
Some random rock and roll music shot got a hold on me.
Somewhere I know.
I sold my soul.
To the devil or the king of rock and roll.
Once I found out.
What that music was all about.
Picked up my baggage and I joined in a few rushes.
I knew that I had a goal.
I wasn't there.
I wasn't there.
There for my wedding.
I wasn't there.
I was back on the road,
playing with my rock and roll band.
I wasn't there.
But when I came on stage that night.
I found her waiting patiently.
Good God. She knows that rock and roll music shot got a hold.
Rock and roll music shot got a hold.
She knows that rock and roll music shot got a hold.
