Well I was born
The year that disco died
And you two was in high school
Thank the lord that they survived
Got my first taste, on a cigar '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's sung in Hole
No one ever stop believing
This 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 my fingers said, "you're gonna be a star"
Groundels everything, at least, it was to me
A martial in my Chevy sprint
Just winding down a dream
We still argue about who's better
Martin Crew or G.R
We still can't believe Ben Helen, turned into Ben Hen Gar
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, Ride and Jones
And we're standing in that 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
