Yeah, yeah,
I was just another child going wild in the city
Just getting by on a dream
I was thinking that was gonna be so pretty, it was pretty mean
Yeah, I hit the road of no expectations
Just leave them where I've been
I didn't care about the fame or the money
Show me a place to á¹—ay and I wanna go

Cause it's all for the love of rock & roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you do
Cause it's all for the love of rock & roll

I hitched a ride on a train going no where
Got 50 bucks in the bank
Ain't a lot of dough, but when you know the feeling, well it feels alright
Alright!
When you finish with a bang, and some honey grabs your hand, yeah
You get to thinking you're right
That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger
That's when she tells you that she's single tonight

Well it's all for the love of rock & roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you do
Cause it's all for the love of rock & roll

I got it made when I hit the stage at quarter to nine
Yeah! Watch 'em dancing in the hays, and the fans really pumping
Feel the rush and that's all it's about
I'm in for life, and there's no getting out of the way

Yeah, all I want, all I need, yeah

Cause it's all for the love of rock & roll
Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control
I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you do
Cause it's all for the love of rock & roll
All for my love of rock&roll
