Out of the Cradle

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
