Rock and Roll Was New

A cheap amp and some distortion
set my whole life into motion -
made me lie awake and wonder
what this big world had to offer.
Started to dream when I was just thirteen.
I saved my money in a jar,
so I could buy my first guitar.
I plugged it in and felt a spark -
rock and roll was new, and hit me hard.
I asked my friends to join a band.
We booked some gigs and earned some fans.
And at night, I'd lie and wonder,
"Could this music take me somewhere?"
Started to dream when I was just thirteen.
I saved my money in a jar,
so I could buy my first guitar.
I plugged it in and felt a spark -
rock and roll was new, and hit me hard.
I've been working on this dream since I was just thirteen:
the strings, the stage, the sweat, the art,
the songs, the microphones, the heart.
I got my favorite life-long scar
when rock and roll was new, and hit me hard.

lyrics
(V1)
I’ve played guitar in dive bars,
Been nickeled, I’ve been dimed.
I’ve sung songs for no one
After 10 hour drives.
I’ve also played for thousands,
And shaken lots of hands.
I’ve been alone up on the stage,
And I’ve played with my band.
(Chorus)
Oh yeah, the road is long
When you work in song.
And we may be worse for wear,
But I know we’ll get there.
(V2)
I’ve put myself out there…
I’ve won and I have lost.
I have paid so many dues,
And withstood many costs.
I don’t look back often,
But when I do, with pride.
I play my heart out every night,
The rest I take in stride.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Nothing is for nothing,
You must learn it as you go.
(Chorus)
