Memories Of A Rock 'N' Rolla - Traffic

When I was a young boy I lived for rock n roll

We spent our time playing gigs and traveling on the road

And we didnt have much money and the gigs were sometimes rough

But playing music for the people seemed to be enough

And the music is so sweet that it makes me tap my feet

And my mind is very high, I can almost touch the sky

Now I am a young man dressed in sparkling coloured clothes

A country house and sixty acres are a heavy load

We still have no money but we have some nice things

Possession is, possessions are the trait that money brings

And the snowflakes are so sweet as they fall around our feet

And my mind is very high, I can almost feel the sky

Now I am an old man, I know exactly what to do Never ask a question or ever give an answer to you

And when you pass me by and you drop a penny in my hat

Dont feel sorry on my account cause life can be like that

And the music is so sweet that it makes me tap my feet

And my mind is very high, I can almost feel the sky

And the river rolls along like a never ever ending song

And the river rolls along like a never ever ending song
