Wind tearin' through the backstreet
I hear the rhythm of my heart beat
Rain blowin' to my face
I'm tired of being in the wrong place
Blues knockin' on my back door
I can't jump from the second floor
Turn up the radio higher and higher
Rock-n-roll music set my ears on fire
When I was stone blue
Rock-n-roll sure helped me through
When I was stone blue
Rock-n-roll sure helped me through
Laid off work and I can't be free
I need some rock-n-roll therapy
Put on a forty-five and let the needle ride
Jukebox jumps and I'll be satisfied
When I was stone blue
Rock-n-roll sure helped me through
When I was stone blue
Rock-n-roll sure helped me through
Oh, let me ride on your mystery train
Ride through the night in the pourin' rain
Rock-n-roll in my soul
Got me losin' control, let it roll
Stone blue, rock-n-roll sure helped me through
When I was stone blue
Rock-n-roll sure helped me through
Rock-n-roll in my soul
Got me losin' control
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll
Stone blue
Rock-n-roll sure helped me through
(Stone blue) Rock-n-roll sure helped me through
(Stone blue) Walkin' on a backstreet
(Stone blue) I hear the rhythm of my heartbeat
(Stone blue) Pick up the beat an' start to run
(Stone blue) I'll be home before the morning sun
(Stone blue) Rain blowin' to my face
(Stone blue) I'm tired of bein' in the wrong place
When I was blue, stone blue, rock-n-roll helped me through
When I was blue, stone blue, rock-n-roll helped me through
Turn up my radio, turn it up, yeah, higher and higher
Turn it up, turn it up, woo, yeah, higher and higher
You gotta help me through, you gotta help me through
You gotta help me through, you gotta help me through
You gotta help me through, you gotta help me through
You gotta help me through, you gotta help me through
When I was stone blue, when I was stone blue
You gotta help me through, help me through
