Lyrics:
I can still remember when I bought my first guitar Remember just how good the feeling, put it proudly in my car And my family listened fifty times to my two song repertoire I told my Mom her only son was gonna be a star. Bought all the Beatles records, sounded just like Paul Bought all the old Chuck Berry's, seventy-eights and all And I sat by my record player playing every note they played I watched them all on tv, making every move they made. Rock'n'Roll I gave you all the best years of my life All the dreamy sunny Sundays, all the moonlit summer nights I was so busy in the backroom, writing love songs to you But you were changing your direction and I never even knew That I was always just one step behind you. Sixty-six seemed like the year I was really goin' somewhere We were living in San Francisco with flowers in our hair Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand That the guys and me were something more than just another band. Sixty nine in Memphis came around so soon, We were really making headway and writing lots of tunes, And we must have played the wildest stuff that we would ever play, The way the crowds called out for us we thought we had it made. Rock'n'Roll I gave you all the best years of my life All the crazy, lazy young days, all the magic moonlit nights I was so busy on the road, singing love songs to you But you were changing your direction and you never even knew That I was always just one step behind you. Seventy one in Soho was when I met Suzanne, I was trying to go it solo with someone else's band When she came up to me softly and she took me by the hand And I told her all my trouble and she seemed to understand. And she followed me to London to a hundred hotel rooms To a hundred record companies who didn't like my tunes And she followed me when finally I sold my old guitar And she tried to help me understand I'd never be a star Oh, Rock'n'Roll I gave you all the best years of my life All the teeny sunny Sundays, all the moonless summer nights Oh, I never knew the magic of making it with you Thank the Lord for giving me the little bit I knew When I was always just one step behind you.
