I was drivin' down the highway Thru' a desert in the middle of the night Well I don't know where that came, bright city lights I searched the map, but couldn't find it Still I swore I had this city in sight And it gave me the creeps, somethin' here wasn't right, no.
I met this crazy guy by a crashed limousine And asked where the hell I was But when I saw his face I lost my breath It was Keith Moon and man he scared me to death
He said: Welcome to rock'n'roll city Everybody here is a star Welcome to rock'n'roll city Everybody drives a flashy car Down in rock'n'roll city.
Well, I drove on, down the main street I felt so shaky, had to park the car Man, I needed a drink, so I searched out a bar Well inside I saw these people They were all dead rock'n'roll stars I saw John Lennon was there, leanin' 'gainst the bar
There was Cochran, Bolan, Joplin was there Buddy Holly and Jim Morisson And Elvis said one thing, before he'd sing: Hey folks! You know I'm still the king
He said: Welcome to rock'n'roll city Everybody here is a star Welcome to rock'n'roll city Brian Jones and Hendrix plays guitar Down in rock'n'roll city
I woke up next morning With my head against the wheel I had been dreamin' it all It didn't happen for real. But I'm sure those guys are jammin' somewhere Hey man, 1 wish that i could be there
I wanna': Go to rock'n'roll city Coz' everybody there is a star Go to rock'n'roll city Jammin' with the boys in the bar
