The Cats - Rock And Roll (I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life) lyrics
[The Cats - Rock And Roll I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life lyrics]
I can still remember when I
Bought my first guitar
Remember just how good the feeling was
Put it proudly in my car
And my family listened fifty times
To my two songs repertoire
And I told mama her only son
Was gonna be a star
Bought all the Beatles records
Sounded just like Paul
Bought all the old Chuck Berry's
78's and all and I sat by my recordplayer
Playing every note they played
And I watched them all on TV
Making every move they made
Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the
Best years of my live
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summernights
I was so busy in the
Backrooom writing lovesongs to you
While you were changing your direction
And never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you
'66 Seems like the year I
Was really going somewere
We were living in San Fransisco
With flowers in our hair
Singing songs of kindness so
The world would understand
That the guys and me were something
More than just another band
And then '69 in LA came around so soon
We were really making headway and
Writing lots of tunes
And we must have played the wildest
Stuff we had ever played
And the way crowds cried out for us, well
We thought we had it made
Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the
Best years of my live
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summernights
I was so busy in the
Backrooom writing lovesongs to you
While you were changing your direction
And never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you
Dooodooodooodooo
'71 In Soho when I saw Suzanne
I was tryin' to go solo
With someone elses band
And she came up to me lately
Took her by the hand
I told her all my troubles
And she seemed to understand
And she followed me through London
Through a hundred hotelrooms
Through a hundred record company's
Who didn't like my tune
She followed me when finaly I
Sold my old guitar
She tried to help me understand
I'll never be a star
Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the
Best years of my live
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summernights
I was so busy in the
Backrooom writing lovesongs to you
While you were changing your direction
And never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you
Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the
Best years of my live
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summernights
I was so busy in the
Backrooom writing lovesongs to you
While you were changing your direction
And never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you
Rock'n'roll, I gave you all the
Best years of my live
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summernights
