One Two Three [00:00:00]
"My father dead and gone " he said "that poor old stubborn man [00:00:01]
Spent his whole life arguing with that red clay Georgia land [00:00:05]
Finally got so weak an' all he could not even walk [00:00:08]
It all went down from there an' I swear he could not even talk [00:00:10]
Hey life'll wear you down now dude an' time will take it's toll [00:00:14]
Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll "[00:00:17]
"My father met my ma they almost married on the spot [00:00:20]
Turned eighteen in church an' moved in right back on the lot [00:00:22]
An' all them workyears later she's the only gal he'd known [00:00:26]
It might be fine for him but I got lightnin' in my bones [00:00:28]
I dreamed a thousand dreams I got travelin' in my soul [00:00:32]
Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll "[00:00:34]
"They laughed at me at school an' said that I always ate too fast [00:00:37]
That's just what it got to when you'd always wound up last [00:00:40]
I've always been the smallest in a house a seven kids I [00:00:43]
Never got my share back there no matter what I did [00:00:47]
Now I'm off an' runnin' boys with two good simple goals [00:00:49]
Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll "[00:00:52]
"Well I'm sailin' off for England soon I'm workin' on a boat [00:01:13]
See this whole wide world before I'm old enough to vote [00:01:16]
I might write home to mama but I sure won't tell it all "[00:01:19]
He grabbed his Guns n' Roses cap an' walked on down the hall yeah [00:01:22]
"On your feet an' fine " he said "And the next damn day you're old [00:01:25]
Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm out t' roll while I can roll "[00:01:28]
Oh yeah[00:01:46]
