Rock 'n' Roll Kids

I remember '62
I was sixteen and so were you
And we lived next door
On the avenue

Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too
Blue jeans and blue suede shoes
And we never knew
What life held in store
We just wanted to rock and roll forever more

We were the rock and roll kids
Rock and roll was all we did
And listenin' to those songs on the radio
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock and roll anymore

Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door
And Mary's down at the record store
They don't wanna be
Around us no more

Golden oldies, but we hardly speak
Too busy running to a different beat
Hard to understand
We were once like them
How I wish we could find those rock and roll days again

We were the rock and roll kids
Rock and roll was all we did
And listenin' to those songs on the radio
I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock and roll anymore

I was yours and you were mine
That was once upon a time
Now we never seem to rock and roll
We just never seem to rock and roll
Anymore
