lyrics

She was kind of quiet and shy
Oh when that first look caught my eye
I said “hello”, she took my hand
Before long there were wedding plans

Now fifteen years have come and gone
I can’t believe i’m so alone
For all those years, she was my wife
‘Till two things came to wreck my life

Rolling rock and rock ‘n’ roll
Got ahold of baby’s soul
Things aren’t how like they were then
‘Cause she ain’t coming back again

It ain’t like it used to be
Our love burned out at 33
Tried it once and lost control
Rolling Rock and Rock ‘n’ Roll

She’d stay home alone each night
While I pursued the party life
I’d come home late and there she’d be
TV on and off to sleep

Until one night I filled my mug
I was slapping backs and getting hugs
My crazy friends
And then surprise!
I’m staring into baby’s eyes

(Chorus + Instrumental)

I’ve learned my lesson, i’ll go straight
I’ll be home every night by eight
I’ll walk the path that’s straight and true
And I’ll do what i’m supposed to do
