Yeah, yeah,
I was just another child going wild in the city
Just getting by on a dream
I was thinking that was gonna be so pretty, it was pretty mean
Yeah, I hit the road of no expectations
Just leave them where I've been
I didn't care about the fame or the money
Show me a place to ?ay and I wanna go

'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you do
Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll

I hitched a ride on a train going no where
Got fifty bucks in the bank
Ain't a lot of dough, but when you know the feeling, well it feels alright
Alright!
When you finish with a bang, and some honey grabs your hand, yeah
You get to thinking you're right
That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger
That's when she tells you that she's single tonight

Well it's all for the love of rock and roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you do
'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll

I got it made when I hit the stage at quarter to nine
Yeah! watch 'em dancing in the hays, and the fans really pumping
Feel the rush and that's all it's about
I'm in for life, and there's no getting out of the way

Yeah, all I want, all I need, yeah

'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you do
'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll
All for my love of rockandroll
