Take me away from the crowd
Make me lie down in that field over there
We can touch the stars, and if we really want to
We can learn to live without a care
Will we ever remember the truth
Over misunderstandings of childhood and youth
Have clouded our vision, made heavy our load
Through the dust and the smoke of this rock & roll
Rock & roll, rock & roll road.
This rock & roll road
Take me away from the hurt
Make me a bed in a room with a view
Let me lie down in your arms
Let your love be an ocean, bright green and deep blue
Take me forever, take me today
Give me an afternoon or longer with you
You know that I love you, though I'm not sure why, or
'til when or with whom
Take me to the West take me to the East.
Give me a princess but leave out the beast
Show me the way Explain me the code for I'm hurting too
much to return
To that rock & roll, rock & roll road.
That rock & roll road
Take me away from the pain
I just want to be quiet, I'm not who you think
Please allow me to lose it again
Old heroes might swim but I don't mind if I sink
Will we ever remember the truth
Over misunderstandings of childhood and youth
Have clouded our vision, made heavy our load
Through the dust and the smoke of this rock & roll
Rock & roll, rock & roll road.
This rock & roll road
