'Live and Die Rock & Roll' - Ray Wylie Hubbard

Mama cried and daddy burned
When I told them what I learned
An old Stones lick and a dirty groove
Let It Bleed and You Got to Move
Some of us is born to run
Out on highway 61
The Clash, Ramones and MC5

Nobody gets out of here alive
It's live and die rock and roll
It ain't something you control
A Stratocaster heart and a Hi'Watt soul
It's live and die rock and roll

I heard Muddy Waters Hard Again
So I went down to the crossroads to see a friend
Broke out of jail and turned 21
Working at the House of the Rising Sun
I met a girl on a dead end street
Some dirty deeds are done dirt cheap

With the earth below and heaven above
My girl gave it up to a Whole Lotta Love

A Stratocaster heart and a Hi'Watt soul
It's live and die rock and roll

Rock and roll is a Black Snake Moan
Spit and sweat on a microphone
Blood and ink down my arm and hand
And the faith to believe in a band
You know it ain't November Rain
It's JJ Cale's Cocaine

Dem Ol' Cosmic Blues
And Eight Miles High
And Hendrix setting his Strat on fire
It's live and die rock and roll
It ain't something you control
A Stratocaster heart and a Hi'Watt soul
It's live and die rock and roll
It's live and die rock and roll
It's live and die rock and roll
It's live and die rock and roll
