Taking Up Rock And Roll

[VERSE 1]
Well I’ve been quiet, and I’ve been good
And I’ve been sweet as I could
I’m pretty when I try, so I been told
But today’s the day I’m taking up rock and roll

[VERSE 2]
Ever since I got pleasing people outta my mind
I sure got a hell of a lotta free time
To sort through the tall tales of old
And today’s the day I’m taking up rock and roll

[VERSE 3]
Well didn’t it wash a little fear away
The day I heard Rosetta play
Yeah and didn’t it rain a big river right through my soul
Yeah today’s the day I’m taking up rock and roll

[VERSE 4]
Well my mind got heavy, but my heart got free
And my hands got busy telling me
All about the songs they long to hold
Yeah today’s the day I’m taking up rock and roll

[VERSE 5]
And my baby’s coming home when the sun goes down
But I’m leaving in the morning for Chicago town
Yeah today’s the day I’m taking up rock and roll
Yeah today’s the day I’m taking up rock and roll
Yeah today’s the day I’m taking up rock and roll
Yeah today’s the day I’m taking up rock and roll
