Rock 'n' Roll Kids
Rock 'n' Roll Nostalgia: A Journey Through '62
Lyrics
I remember '62
I recall the year 1962
I was sixteen and so were you
I was sixteen, and so were you
And we lived next door
We lived as neighbors
On the avenue
Residing on the avenue
Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too
Jerry Lee and Elvis were prominent
Blue jeans and blue suede shoes
Wearing blue jeans and blue suede shoes
And we never knew
We were unaware of life's uncertainties
What life held in store
Curious about what the future held
We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more
Yearning to rock 'n' roll eternally
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
We, the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
Rock 'n' Roll was all we did
Rock 'n' Roll consumed our existence
listening to those songs on the radio
Immersed in songs from the radio
And I was yours and you were mine
I belonged to you, and you belonged to me
That was once upon a time
That era was once upon a time
Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore
Regrettably, we no longer engage in Rock 'n' Roll
Now Johnny's in love with the girl next door
Johnny is enamored with the girl next door
Mary's down at the record store
Mary frequents the record store
They don't want to be...around us no more
Others prefer not to be around us anymore
"Golden Oldies" but we hardly speak
"Golden Oldies," yet communication is scarce
busy running to a different beat
Busy pursuing a different rhythm
try to understand, we were once like them
Reflecting on how we were once like them
How I wish we could find those Rock 'n' Roll days again
Yearning to rediscover those Rock 'n' Roll days
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
We, the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
Rock 'n' Roll was all we did
Rock 'n' Roll defined our existence
listening to those songs on the radio
Engaged in the melodies from the radio
I was yours and you were mine
I belonged to you, and you belonged to me
that was once upon a time
That era was once upon a time
Now we never seem to Rock and Roll anymore
Unfortunately, Rock 'n' Roll seems distant now
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
We, the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
Rock 'n' Roll was all we did
Rock 'n' Roll was our constant pursuit
listening to those songs on the radio
Enamored with tunes from the radio
I was yours and you were mine
I belonged to you, and you belonged to me
that was once upon a time
That era was once upon a time
Now we never seem to Rock and Roll
Currently, Rock 'n' Roll eludes us
No, we never seem to Rock and Roll...
No, the joy of Rock 'n' Roll evades us
We just never seem to Rock and Roll anymore
We simply no longer partake in Rock 'n' Roll
