I was just another child growin' wild in the city Just gettin' by on a dream I was thinkin' life was gonna be so pretty It was pretty mean I hit the road having no expectations Just leavin' where I had been I didn't care about no fame or the money Show me a place to play and I'm gonna go 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air and I'm losin' control I don't care what you heard I don't care what you're told 'cause it's All for the love of rock and roll I hitched a ride on a trip going nowhere Got fifty bucks and a bite Ain't a lot of dough but when you know that feeling Well it feels alright And when you finish with the band And some honey grabs your hand You get to thinkin' you might That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger That's when she tells that she's single tonight Chorus I got it made when I hit the stage a quarter to nine Watch 'em dancin' in the haze And the band's really pumpin' Feel the rush and that's all it's about I'm in for life and there's no gettin' out of the way All I want All I need Chorus
