Only Place I Want To Be
My Mama went into labor
When she was 21
Just as the thunder rolled
And the clouds hid the sun
She was always movin'
We were on our own
I was born to rock'n'roll
And call the road my home
Rock'n'roll's my savior
My heaven and my hell
They are one and the same
As far as I can tell
Guitars, cigarettes and whiskey
And A microphone in my face
Out in front of an audience
Is the only place
I want to be
I was on my own
When I was just 18
Lost my innocence
And my virginity
All I had to make ends meet
Were the songs that I wrote
Singing in the bars and juke joints
To anyone who showed
Rock'n'roll's my savior
My heaven and my hell
They are one and the same
As far as I can tell
Guitars, cigarettes and whiskey
And A microphone in my face
Out in front of an audience
Is the only place
I want to be
The road can be a rough place
It's not for everyone
You've got to have real thick skin
And sometimes carry a gun
The road is not forgiving
It ain't no life of fame
Half the time you're broke
The other half insane
But out here I can be
Crazy wild and free
As long as I can sing
There ain't no stoppin' me
12 nights in a row
Before I get a break
People say I'm heading
For an early grave
But I just laugh it off
And let them believe
Cause I know it's the women
Who'll be the death of me
Rock'n'roll's my savior
My heaven and my hell
They are one and the same
As far as I can tell
Guitars, cigarettes and whiskey
And A microphone in my face
Out in front of an audience
Is the only place
I want to be
But out here I can be
Crazy, wild and free,
As long as I can sing
There ain't no stoppin' me
When she was 21
Just as the thunder rolled
And the clouds hid the sun
She was always movin'
We were on our own
I was born to rock'n'roll
And call the road my home
Rock'n'roll's my savior
My heaven and my hell
They are one and the same
As far as I can tell
Guitars, cigarettes and whiskey
And A microphone in my face
Out in front of an audience
Is the only place
I want to be
I was on my own
When I was just 18
Lost my innocence
And my virginity
All I had to make ends meet
Were the songs that I wrote
Singing in the bars and juke joints
To anyone who showed
Rock'n'roll's my savior
My heaven and my hell
They are one and the same
As far as I can tell
Guitars, cigarettes and whiskey
And A microphone in my face
Out in front of an audience
Is the only place
I want to be
The road can be a rough place
It's not for everyone
You've got to have real thick skin
And sometimes carry a gun
The road is not forgiving
It ain't no life of fame
Half the time you're broke

But out here I can be
Crazy wild and free
As long as I can sing
There ain't no stoppin' me

But I just laugh it off
And let them believe
Cause I know it's the women
Who'll be the death of me
Rock'n'roll's my savior
My heaven and my hell
They are one and the same
As far as I can tell
Guitars, cigarettes and whiskey
And A microphone in my face
Out in front of an audience
Is the only place
I want to be
But out here I can be
Crazy, wild and free,
As long as I can sing
There ain't no stoppin' me
