Rock'n'Roll City

This is a true story

I was drivin' down the highway

Through a desert in the middle of the night

When out of nowhere came bright city lights

I searched a man, but couldn't find him

Still I swore I had this city in sight

And it gave me the creeps, something here was right, no

I met this crazy guy by a crashed limousine

And asked where the hell I was

But when I saw his face, I lost my breath

It was Keith Moon and, man, it scared me to death

He said, "Welcome to Rock'n'Roll City!

Everybody here is a star

Yeah! Welcome to Rock'n'Roll City!"

Everybody drives a flashy car

Down in Rock'n'Roll City

Well, I drove on down the main street

I felt so shaky, had to park the car

Man, I needed a drink, so I searched out a bar

Well, inside I saw these people

They were all dead Rock'n'Roll stars

I saw John Lennon was there, leaning 'gainst the bar

And there was a band on stage

There was Cochrane, Bolan, Joplin and Ed

Buddy Holly and Jim Morrison

And there'll be said one thing, before he'll sing

"Hey folks, you know I'm still a king"

He said: "Welcome to Rock'n'Roll City!

Everybody here is a star

Yeah! Welcome to Rock'n'Roll City!"

Brian Jones and Hendrix plays guitar

In Rock'n'Roll City

I woke up next morning, with my head against the wheel

I had been dreaming it all

It didn't happen for real

But I'm sure those guys are jamming somewhere

And, man, I wish that I could be there

I wanna go to Rock'n'Roll City

Where everybody is a star

Yeah! Go to Rock'n'Roll City

An jam here with boys in the bar

I wanna go to Rock'n'Roll City

Get my kicks and play some guitar

I wanna go to Rock'n'Roll City

Gonna get myself a flashy car

Down in Rock'n'Roll City

Yeah
