So many years ago my name was something you couldn't face to know
Until you heard it that one night behind the mask we call rock and roll
Stage after stage my attitudes and memories changed
Your values differed are now rearranged
Another book, a brand new page
More mountains left to climb
Many tunnels made of time
But rock and roll, rock and roll keeps rolling on
Rock and roll is a hard life
Baby, it's so hard
So many things we've done
Some were right, some were wrong
Rock and roll is a hard life
So many things died off from childhood
Some so bad, some so good
It makes me really wonder why
A million directions I had to try
More mountains left to climb
Many tunnels made of time
Feeling lonely in a crowd
Playing rock and roll so loud
The louder they rock the harder they fall
We still see out names spray painted on the walls
