We were 6 years old standin’ in the front row
Singing every word of every song, it’s true
We got the rock ‘n’ roll rhythm and blues
Well the record man’s screaming that “Rock ‘n’ Roll’s dead”
We think that he should sell cars instead
He’s a fool, they try to take away the things we hold true
Well if you care about rock, then sit right there
We’ll take your ass back to the early years
Where the jams were tight, the kids could play
The music didn’t suck and the bands weren’t gay
To Waylon and Willie
To Hank and Cash
To Page and Plant
To Axl and Slash
A little bit of Alice in mother fuckin’ chains
We miss ya Layne, well he sure could sing
We’ll be a hundred years old still in the front row
Singin’ every word with our devil horns in the air
‘Cause baby we were born to be here
We’ll keep the record spinnin’ all night long
We’ll kick and roll hard ‘till the break of dawn with you
‘Cause that’s what they would want us to do
Well if you care about rock, then sit right there
We’ll take your ass back to the early years
Where the jams were tight, the kids could play
The music didn’t suck and the bands weren’t gay
To Tyler and Perry
To the Brothers VanZant
From the Eagles to Elvis
To Stills and Nash
With a little Kid Rock beat on the back
We’re on our way
Yeah they were rockstars
Livin’ life real large
They were all residents on the cover of the Rolling Stone
They were all guitar slayers
They are Rock ‘n’ Roll mayors
They are stone cold pimps until the early dawn
We’re on our way
Yeah
Good Night Detroit!
They were all rockstars
Livin’ life real large, yeah
They were all residents
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
They were all guitar slayers
They are Rock ‘n’ Roll mayors
They were stone cold pimps until the early dawn
We’re on our way
Yeah
