The Rocker

Kind of an ACDC style song.

 

[V1]

My time has come

Says the ringing church bell,
Go the stairway to heaven

Or the highway to hell.

Sorry mama,

Forgive me now,

Despite my choice

You brought your boy up well.

 

[Ch]

I’m just a rocker, a partier,

A liver and a fighter.

I’ll go to Las Vegas

Where the nights are brighter.

My band’s the hardest rocking in town,

Know what’s good for you back your a*s down.

Cause I’m a rocker.

Yeah, you heard me,

A son of Satan,

A booze drinking machine,

My conscience is far from clean

I’m a rock and rolling man.

 

[V2]

Hey there Mister,

Best watch out.

Your innocent daughter

Knows what I’m all about.

She wants me to make her

Scream and shout,

When I’m done with her

She’ll sit there and pout.

 

It won’t do her no good.

I'm holding up hands with only two fingers showing on each and saying YEAH! I still jam to ACDC--Back in Black and Thunderstruck are a few favorites. Your song rocks and I really like the first verse--the correlation here ...."Go the stairway to heaven Or the highway to hell." I think we've all been on both. This is a kickin' tune!! Great write.

i like it!


I like it a lot!

Hi. Thanks for your review.

I read a few of your other pieces, and found this one appeals because your natural ability to be lyrical is out in the open, as a song. Definitely works as an AC/DC style track...I was thinking Megadeth-esque until I read your description.
Fun chorus. Overall, you've captured the rock scene well: entertainment with a bit of rebellion mixed in.

Thanks for posting it.

Wow - I think I was in my twenties when ACDC first hit the scene. And I could definitely "hear" this as their style! Great song. Aren't all those guys in recovery now? LOL - just kidding.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Hey there this song is good , would love to hear you play and sing it if we could, do you have a way to record on here?
Very good song ..

Great work John. Reminds me of Thin Lizzy, a touch of Motorhead and, yeah, certainly ACDC. Funny how so many bands use the same imagery and words just arranged in a different order. I think you have captured this really well - girls, booze with a touch of Satan's influence. Thats definately rock'n'roll!
