when i was a boy i didn't know what i should do
they said get an education you got to forget about the blues
but i was hooked on rock and roll i got a demon in my soul
i gotta wanting the say i gotta
i could have been a soldier i could have been a lawyer
i could have been a teacher what about a preacher
but i got news for you i just dig these rhythm and blues
i was waiting for the day when i could when i could break away
i could have been a lawyer
i could have been a teacher
just follow the rules that's what they said to me
you got to get an education you got to forget about the blues
but i was hooked on rock and roll i got a demon in my soul
i got one thing to say you got to let the music play
