die rockin

i was born a wild child in fear of the holy ghost

raised on field holler with the spirit in my bones

i turned 15

i was lost to the pentecost

i felt a woman's breast and heard sway by the stones

next thing you know lord

i'm in the band

we come from east texas

a river bottomland

harder than a bois d'arc tree

too drunk to stand

with cowboy hats and old guitars and copenhagen cans

i'm gonna rock until i die

i'm gonna die rockin'

i'm gonna rock until i die

i'm gonna die rockin'

i'm gonna rock until i die

i'm gonna die rockin'

gonna die rockin'

gonna die rockin'

gather around you children

come on take my hand

i'm gonna take you to a place

but it ain't

ain't the promised land

it's got every thing you want

baby

but nothing's for sell

it's a lost highway

it's a california hotel

it's where the ones who came before

they paid it with their lives

they gave their souls to rock n roll

i'm gonna rock until i die

i'm gonna rock until i die

i'm gonna die rockin'

i'm gonna rock until i die

i'm gonna die rockin'

i'm gonna rock until i die

i'm gonna die rockin'

gonna die rockin'

gonna die rockin'
