It's a hurried up life 
But it's the life I choose 
No use in asking me to slow down 
Cause I got nothing to lose 

But time and time is all I've got 
You know I born standing up with a guitar in my hand 
I'm not trying to come on like hollywood 
But hollywood is what I am 

When we come into a new town 
Everybody's there 
When we play our music 
Hands are in the air 

When the music's over 
You wonder where we are 
I'm standing in the silence 
With my old guitar 

Rock is my life and this is my song 
It's a crying shame 
That some of us have not survived 
No use in asking how it happened 
But very few are left alive 

I just wanna keep on makin' music 
We gotta keep on keepin' on 
You're only as good as your last record 
I know that someday we'll be gone, gone 

When we come into a new town 
Everybody's there 
When we play our music 
Hands are in the air 

When the music's over 
You wonder where we are 
I'm standing in the silence 
With my old guitar 

Rock is my life and this is my song 
When we come into a new town 
Everybody's there 
When we play our music 
Candles light the air 

When the music's over, over 
You wonder where we are 
I'm standing in the silence 
With my old guitar, my only friend 
Rock is my life and this is my song
