I can still remember
When I bought my first guitar
I remember just how good the feeling was
Put it proudly in my car
And I played my friends a thousand times
My two song repetoire and I told my mom
Her only son was gonna be a star

I bought all the beetle records
And I tried to sound like Paul
I bought all the old Buudy Holly's the 78's and all
And I sat by my record player
Playing every song they played
And I watched them all on TV,
Every move they made

Rock and roll I give you
All the best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays
All the magic moon at nights
I was so busy in the back room
writing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
I never even knew
That I was always one step behind you

'66 seem like the year I was really going somewhere
We were living in San Francisco
With flowers in our hair
Singin' songs of kindness
So the world would understand
That the guys and me were something more
Than just another band

And in '69 in L.A.
Well it came around so soon
But we were really making headway
And writing lots of tunes
And we must have played
The wildest stuff we had ever played
Cause the way the crouds yelled out for more
We thought we had it made

Rock and roll I give you
All the best years of my life
Playing my guitar under bright and flashing lights
I was so busy on the road
singin love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
I never even knew
That I was always one step behind you

'71 in Soho is when I met Suzanne
I was trying to go a solo
With someone else's band
And she came up to me later on
And I took her by the hand
And I told her all my troubles
And she seemed to understand

And she followed me through London
Through a hundred hotel rooms
Through a hundred record companys
That didn't like my tunes
And she followed me
Til finally I sold my old guitar
And she tried to help me understand
That I'd never be a star

Rock and roll I give you
All the best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays
All the magic moon at nights
Though I never had the chance of makin' it with you
I thank the lord for giving me
The little bit I knew
And I was always one step behind you

Rock and roll I give you
All the best years of my life
Singin' out my love songs under bright and flashing lights
And though I never had the chance of makin' it with you
I thank the lord for giving me
The little bit I knew
