Sometimes they know me, sometimes they don't
Some learn to take it, so people won't
And if you really wanna know, oh this is rock'n'roll
It's years on the road, years on the road
It started on the day I heard Johnny play
And now it's getting harder day by day
Sometimes when I hear that song on the radio
I know the reason for the rock'n'roll
And if you really wanna know how far the man can go
Takes years on the road, years on the road, years on the road
So when you're somewhere out there
And you wanna save your soul, you'd better think about rock'n'roll
And if you really wanna know how far the man can go
Takes years on the road, years on the road, years on the road
Here on the road all my life goes by
And if there's a reason, then it's mine
A little light is shining showing me the way
Tonight I'll blow my tears away
And if you really wanna know, oh this is rock'n'roll
It's years on the road, years on the road
Years on the road, years on the road, years on the road
Years on the road, years on the road, years on the road
Yeah, it's years on the road
Long years on the road
