Oh I was poor as a boy,
Only had one thing to my name.
But I worked so hard
On my old guitar,
I know each note sounded the same.
Yea I did what I said,
And I taught myself how to play,
But the tables turned,
With the things I learned,
Now it feels so good when I say
I`m out of the cradle but I`m still rockin`,
Just playing the good time rock `n` roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin`,
But nobody knows which way to go.
I`m out of the cradle but I`m still rockin`,
Just playing the good time rock `n` roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin`,
But nobody knows which way to go.
Right back at the start
With my time all over again,
Would I push my luck,
What a chance I took,
But it all worked out in the end.
I`m doin` all right,
Is the good life fading away.
But I don`t feel bad,
The good times I`ve had,
And I can`t stand still when I say
I`m out of the cradle but I`m still rockin`,
Just playing the good time rock `n` roll,
And everyone else just keeps on knockin`,
But nobody knows which way to go.
I`m out of the cradle but I`m still rockin`,
Just playing the good time rock `n` roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin`,
But nobody knows which way to go.
Fools laugh in my face when I tell them how it began.
Who`s takin` my place for the first time nobody can.
I`m leavin` the race and there`s no-one changin` my plan.
No more I can say I came here to play,
Listen to me.
I`m out of the cradle but I`m still rockin`,
Just playing the good time rock `n` roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin`,
But nobody knows which way to go.
I`m out of the cradle but I`m still rockin`,
Just playing the good time rock `n` roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin`,
But nobody knows which way to go.
I`m out of the cradle but I`m still rockin`,
Just playing the good time rock `n` roll.
And everyone else just keeps on knockin`,
But nobody knows which way to go, oh.
