Simple Times - Whatever Happened To Rock N Roll

Got in the car and I turned on the radio
Some girl was singing about her X's and her O's
I searched across the airwaves looking for some rock n roll
All I heard was pop and other crap I didn't know
Longing for the music that I loved back in the day
When I listen to those songs they have so much to say
Whatever happened to rock n roll
Bob said the music would soothe your soul
Spin me up some rock of ages
There's nothing like rolling with the changes
Sammy said there's one way to rock
With a rebel yell wind back the clock
Let's turn up the radio
And jam all night to some rock n roll
I remember Casey counting down the Top 40
Waiting for that rock n roll to beat out that country
Buying the new 45's just so I could hear side B
Couldn't wait to listen to those rock n roll melodies
Let me hear the rhythm of the rains down in Africa
Night Ranger said well you can still rock in America
Whatever happened to rock n roll
Bob said the music would soothe your soul
Spin me up some rock of ages
There's nothing like rolling with the changes
Sammy said there's one way to rock
With a rebel yell wind back the clock
Let's turn up the radio
And jam all night to some rock n roll
Let's tip our mics to Petty and Ronnie James Dio
Lift our guitars to Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhodes
Salute the jukebox heroes on the stairway to heaven
We need a little sweet emotion, so we don't stop believing
Let's go find a crazy train
And we'll be rocking it like a hurricane
We're heading on down the tracks
To sweet home Alabama
And we'll never look back
Whatever happened to rock n roll
Bob said the music would soothe your soul
Spin me up some rock of ages
There's nothing like rolling with the changes
I want nothing but a good time
With a little Kiss
We'll rock n roll all night
Carry on my wayward son
Rocking and a rolling till the morning comes
Sammy said there's one way to rock
With a rebel yell wind back the clock
Let's turn up the radio
And jam all night to some rock n roll
I want nothing but a good time
(Where did rock n roll go, does anybody really know)
Spin me up some rock of ages
There's nothing like rolling with the changes
(Bought a stack of 45s, going to play 'em all night until the sunrise)
Carry on my wayward son
Rocking and a rolling till the morning comes
(Crank the volume in the bass, shred that Les Paul in your face)
Turn up that radio
