On the road to rock 'n' roll
A lot of wrecks in the ravine
Some you recognize
Used to hang out on the scene
On the rock to rock 'n' roll
You'll be in the delta by and by
If you don't believe in good and evil
You'd better tell the devil why
On the road to rock 'n' roll
Come on, everybody, drift away
On the road to rock 'n' roll
Where I learned to play

On the road to rock 'n' roll
Everybody carries a good luck charm
Said to spook the highway wind
Blowing off old Parchman farm
On the road to rock 'n' roll
They'll try to hook you by the eye
Take that mirror in your darkest house
And turn it to the sky
On the road to rock 'n' roll
Come on, everybody, drift away

On the road to rock 'n' roll
The lonely sing a soulful song
Leave a little light in the wilderness
For somebody to come upon
On the road to rock 'n' roll
With everybody deep in their dreams
When the snow is falling on the city
Ask the music what it means
