It's a hurried up life   But it's the life I choose   No use in asking me to slow down   'Cause I got nothing to lose      But time and time is all I've got   You know I was born standin' up   With a guitar in my hand   I'm not tryin' to come on like Hollywood   But Hollywood is what I am      When we come into a new town   Everybody's there   When we play our music   Hands are in the air      When the music's over   You wonder where we are   I'm standing in the silence   With my old guitar   Rock is my life and this is my song      It's a cryin' shame   That some of us have not survived   No use in askin' how it happened   But very few are left alive      I just wanna keep on makin' music   We gotta keep on keepin' on   You're only as good as your last record   I know that someday we'll be gone, gone      When we come into a new town   Everybody's there   When we play our music   Hands are in the air      When the music's over   You wonder where we are   I'm standing in the silence   With my old guitar   Rock is my life and this is my song      When we come into a new town, new town   Everybody's there   When we play our music   Candles light the air      When the music's over, over   You wonder where we are   I'm standing in the silence   With my old guitar, my only friend      Rock is my life and this is my song   And this is my song   Rock is my life and [Incomprehensible]      When we come into a new town, new town   Everybody's there
