One Two Three

"My father dead and gone " he said "that poor old stubborn man

Spent his whole life arguing with that red clay Georgia land

Finally got so weak an' all he could not even walk

It all went down from there an' I swear he could not even talk

Hey life'll wear you down now dude an' time will take it's toll

Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll "

"My father met my ma they almost married on the spot

Turned eighteen in church an' moved in right back on the lot

An' all them workyears later she's the only gal he'd known

It might be fine for him but I got lightnin' in my bones

I dreamed a thousand dreams I got travelin' in my soul

Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll "

"They laughed at me at school an' said that I always ate too fast

That's just what it got to when you'd always wound up last

I've always been the smallest in a house a seven kids I

Never got my share back there no matter what I did

Now I'm off an' runnin' boys with two good simple goals

Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm tryin' t' roll while I can roll "

"Well I'm sailin' off for England soon I'm workin' on a boat

See this whole wide world before I'm old enough to vote

I might write home to mama but I sure won't tell it all "

He grabbed his Guns n' Roses cap an' walked on down the hall yeah

"On your feet an' fine " he said "And the next damn day you're old

Tryin' t' rock while I can rock I'm out t' roll while I can roll "

Oh yeah
