Drive-By Truckers - Let There Be Rock lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - Let There Be Rock lyrics]
Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert
Fourteen years old
And I thought them lasers were
A spider chasing me on my way home
Got pulled over in Rogersville Alabama
With a half-ounce of weed and a
Case of Sterling Big Mouth
My buddy Gene was driving
He just barely turned sixteen
And I'd like to say, "I'm sorry"
But we lived to tell about it
And we lived to do a whole lot more crazy
Stupid shit
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but
I sure saw Molly Hatchet
With 38 Special and the Johnny Van Zant Band
One night when I was seventeen
I drank a fifth of vodka
On an empty stomach
Then drove over to a friend's house
And I backed my car between his
Parents' Cadillacs without a scratch
Then crawled to the back door and
Slithered through the key hole
And sneaked up the stairs
And puked in the toilet
I passed out and nearly drowned
But his sister, Deedee, pulled me out
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but
I sure saw Molly Hatchet
And the band that I was in played
"The Boys are Back in Town"
Skynyrd was set to play Huntsville, Alabama
In the spring of '77
I had a ticket but it got cancelled
So, the show, it was rescheduled for the
"Street Survivors Tour"
And the rest, as they say, is history
So I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but
I sure saw Ozzy Osbourne
With Randy Rhoads in '82 Right
Before that plane crash
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd
But I sure saw AC dC
With Bon Scott singing
"Let There Be Rock Tour"
With Bon Scott singing
"Let There Be Rock Tour"
With Bon Scott singing, "LET THERE BE ROCK!"
