Being born in the ‘50s
Music was always my friend
It just felt right
A lifelong trend
With Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry
Early legends of Rock & Roll
But now we’ve lost Buddy and Chuck
Sadly we gotta pay the toll
Through the ‘60s and ‘70s
My favorite music years
The British Invasion
And Rock & Roll in my ears
From The Beatles
And The Moody Blues
Buying record albums
I’ve paid my dues
The Beach Boys
With all those great car songs
Give the volume knob a twist
Crank it up all night long
Songs that pick you up
And carry you through mid-air
Well, not really
But with eyes closed you’re there
Sensational guitar pickin’
And song lyrics you’d join in
Go ahead, sing along and pretend
You’re a rock star singing
“The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly”
An instrumental so cool
And “Classical Gas”
How Mason Williams rules
From the band Chicago
“25 or 6 to 4”
Somebody pinch me
I’m like a kid in the record store
Got my toes and fingers tappin’
To the beat of Rock & Roll
Groovin’ to the music of life
The music that moves my soul
