Trailer pass a beach
Having all them known
My place is somewhere buried
In an overcrowded coast
Oh, mama
I'm so far from home
I'd love to sing my ballad
But they only wanna hear me rock 'n roll
They'll cactus me a rainbow
And a pile of gold
They'd fetch me in my limo
Now sideway, my soul
Oh, mama
It's the dumbest story ever told
I'd love to sing my ballad
But they only wanna hear me rock 'n roll
Now the older fans might stings for rock n' roll
Fancy me a slacker
So don't let anyone know
Fifteen minutes is the only way to go
Oh, mama
I can't take much more
I'd love to sing my ballad
But they only wanna hear me rock 'n roll
I think I'm gonna leave
Just like a rolling stone
Rolling, rolling, rolling
'Til the morning comes
Oh, mama
My head just turned to solid gold
I'd love to sing my ballad
But they only wanna hear me rock 'n roll
I'd love to sing my ballad
But they only wanna hear me rock 'n roll
I'd love to sing my ballad
But they only wanna hear me rock 'n roll
