I was camped down by a river when I saw the light
I climbed a waterfall but I wouldn't jump that night
I went back to the basement picked myself off the floor
And I went up the stairs and through the rooftop door
Well I did it with the radio on
All I ever needed was the right song
Don't you wanna ride the merry go round
Don't you wanna be there when it all goes down
Don't you wanna feel it in your hometown
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll
I hit a rock and landed at the hideaway
I gave the chief a smile and turned away a stray
Rode across the hilltops watched the ocean burn
I slept under a redwood 'til the weather turned
And I did it with the radio on
All I ever needed was the right song
Don't you wanna ride the merry go round
Don't you wanna be there when it all goes down
Don't you wanna feel it in your hometown
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll
Don't you wanna ride the merry go round
Don't you wanna be there when it all goes down
Don't you wanna feel it in your hometown
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll
I listen inside
Where sweet memories lie
With a rhythm and rhyme
So I keep turning up the dial
And for a moment in time
I'm livin' each line
Ridin' high on Rock and Roll
I listen inside
Where sweet memories lie
With a rhythm and rhyme
And so I turn up the dial
Rock and Roll
For a moment in time
Rock and Roll
I'm livin' each line
Rock and Roll
Ridin' high
I might be losing my mind
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll
For a moment in time
Rock and Roll
I'm livin' each line
Rock and Roll
Ridin' high
I might be losin' my mind
