I was born a wild child in fear of the Holy Ghost Raised on field holler with the spirit in my bones I turned 15, I was lost to the Pentecost I felt a woman's breast and heard Sway by the Stones Next thing you know Lord, I'm in the band We come from East Texas, a river bottomland Harder than a Bois d'Arc tree, too drunk to stand With cowboy hats and old guitars and Copenhagen cans I'm gonna rock until I die, I'm gonna die rockin' I'm gonna rock until I die, I'm gonna die rockin' I'm gonna rock until I die, I'm gonna die rockin' Gonna die rockin', gonna die rockin' ♪ Gather round, you children, come on take my hand I'm gonna take you to a place and it ain't the Promised Land It's got every thing you want, baby, but nothing's for sale It's a lost highway, it's a California hotel It's where the ones who came before, they paid it with their lives They gave their souls to rock n roll, I'm gonna rock until I die I'm gonna rock until I die, I'm gonna die rockin' I'm gonna rock until I die, I'm gonna die rockin' I'm gonna rock until I die, I'm gonna die rockin' Gonna die rockin', gonna die rockin'
