I’m an old rock and roll star
And I never made it very far,
But I get me a yen
Go out and do it again
On my Rickenback guitar
Jump onto the stage
Rock into a rage
And put some whiskey back in my jar
I was very very good at the blues
And my boogie runs got into the news
My sweet bars of sixteen
Were so exceedingly clean
They exploded in the soles of your shoes
And the kid on guitar
Played like a be bop in fire
Just like the kid’s gonna play it for you.
I’m an old rock and roll star
And I never made it very far
And now my time’s getting on
My guitar I did pawn
And my voice is like gravel and tar
But oh with such ease
The ol’ crowd I did please
Yes I like it when they know who you are
