Rock and Roll

My sound check’s at twelve, and I’m hungover as hell
You’ve been riding that freight train through my mind all day
It’s thirty minutes to show time; I’m wondering if you’re standing in that line
Outside thinking about me like I been thinking of you
And its just another verse of the same damn song:
The love-sick, hungover hillbilly blues.

      CHORUS
      And it’s lonely, you don’t understand the pain of life in a hillbilly band
      with a worn-out song where your heart used to be
      You’re the only girl I know make me think that love could save my soul
      But country songs don’t end that way and I don’t play rock and roll 


She only likes the songs I sing when I sing ‘em up on stage
She pretends that I’m not the guy she used to know
And as soon as its time to leave she looks up on stage to see
If I’m watching as she leaves the bar with someone new
All these songs are about you anyway, so just go on girl I feel another one coming on

      CHORUS

      [shredding guitar solos - Sam and Greg Leisz trading]

      CHORUS
      No I don’t play rock and roll
      Cause I don’t play rock and roll
