Rock 'n' Roll / EGA - Daniel Johnston

There was a day when I was so lonely

Time passed me by

I was more dead than alive

Every minute was like an hour

Every day was an eternity

I looked for hope but all around me

People didn’t seem to care

But oh, that rock’n’roll

It saved my soul

That rock’n’roll

If I ever thought that I could be happy

Dreams like that always faded away

And all the girls already had boyfriends

I was alone as lonely could be

I laid asleep and turned on the radio

The music to me was like a dream

But oh, that rock’n’roll

It saved my soul

That rock’n’roll

You walk around but you gotta have a reason

Something worth getting up in the morning for

My heart looked to art and I found the Beatles

Oh God, I was and am a true disciple

Look for the fun you’ll start a happy cycle

The music will make you come alive

But oh that rock’n’roll

It saved my soul

That rock’n’roll

She was crying just like a baby

Don’t wanna fight or more like maybe

You ought to get on home at night

Keep the battle to the right

Seeing the love and adultery

And wonderin' who was in the outfield

Swear I know the truth

And I ain’t wearin' nobody’s shoes

I got some dollar on high look out

It’s shining, with a bottle of knuckleheads

She’s like a drunken rat cat, oh

I guess you’re coming out the backdoor

She did all right it’s all battle or fight

So I feel all empty now

You try to hold a figure eight

She said what’s the Antichrist

He said oh what did you do to her

It’s probably she’s been talking to Lucifer

Is that really the night

Oh, my, uh, uh

All right

Hey
