  • Naked telephone poles can't describe
    The way I'm feeling about you tonight
    And a feeling on my back like an old brown jacket
    Like to stay in school but I just can't hack it
    And I'm out on the street feeling like dirt
    I'm afraid to get married because I know it's gonna hurt
    And I say

    Oh oh oh - there's the last of the rock stars
    And me and you
    Oh oh oh - rock 'n roll is here to stay
    But who will be left to play

    Well I dreamed I saw the king in a '53 Chevy
    Had a band on his mind and his hands looked heavy
    And he rolled down his window I guess to say hi
    I couldn't see his face 'cause of the purple haze inside
    And he was born to be the king - he was born to be the man
    And he died though he was holy - although I doubt he'd understand
    When I say

    (Chorus)

    Adolescent predrug habit - if it means guitar you gotta have it
    And you got your axe and you got your group
    And your old man thinks it's a waste of loot
    And you wait all week for a Sullivan show
    And you know that's just where you wanna go
    And you homework now is never complete
    You don't care - cause you have got that beat

    So a highdy hi and a heydy hey
    And a girls that home on Friday night and a boy that's out to play
    And some of us are masters and some or us are slaves
    And than there's that boy who knows he's gotta play
    And a messy desk drawer full of broken strings
    You know these kids and you know of those things

    (Chorus)

    Come on mama please don't cry
    Don't you know how I feel inside Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
