Daughtry - Long Live Rock & Roll

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've rocked
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
It's the Journey of our lives
So won't you help me
pour some sugar
On these memories tonight?

Singin'
Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars
and music for the soul
Sayin'
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
And played it till
my fingers said,
You're gonna be a star
Grunge was everything,
at least it was to me
A Marshall in my Chevy Sprint
Just running down a dream
We still argue about who's better
Mötley Crüe or GnR
We still can't believe Van Halen
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

Singin'
Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars
and music for the soul
Sayin'
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights
and records made of gold
Long live rock and roll

Went to bed in Cleveland
Woke up in Tennessee
No matter where I roam tonight
I'm chasing history
We still argue about who's better
The Beatles or The Stones
They're forever 27
Jimi, Janis, Brian Jones
And we stand here in their memory
'Cause the 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
Sayin'
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
Sayin'
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights
and records made of gold
Long live rock and roll
