lyrics

Well, I'm standing at the gates of heaven,
With a guitar in my hand,
And I said "Lord please let me in now,
Cos I 've played all that I can".

And he said " Boy, you gotta learn new rhythm,
You gotta feel it in your soul",
Cos the blues had a baby,
And he called it, Rock and Roll".

One two, one two, three four..

So I'm running, fast as lightning,
Feel the blood run through my viens,
Gotta fever in my head now,
Burning hot like an old coal train.
And I found me a new way of living,
And I feel it in my soul,
Yeah the blues had a baby,
And it's called, rock and roll.

Well I'm longing for the days of thunder,
With my body dressed in black,
To feel the freedom of the highway,
On my ironhorse cadillac,
And I hear that motor humming,
Like a rumble in my soul,
Yeah the blues had a baby,
And it's called rock and roll.

And I found me a new way of living,
And I feel it in my soul,
Yeah the blues had a baby,
And it's called, rock and roll.
