Long Live Rock & Roll
Daughtry Lyrics

Well I was born
The singer is introducing himself

The year that disco died
The year the singer was born, disco music fell out of style

And U2 was in high school
The band U2 was in high school at the time

Thank the Lord that they survived
Grateful that U2 survived

Got my first taste, on a Seger 45
The first music the singer listened to was a Seger 45 record

And since that Kiss I rocked out
Since he listened to Kiss, he loves to rock out to music

All day and partied every night
The singer rocked out and partied every night and day

We still argue about who's better
People still argue to this day about who the better musician is

Elton John or Billy Joel
The two musicians people argue about

We still wonder if Kurt really
Kurt Cobain is still a topic of discussion

Wrote the song she sang in Hole
Did Kurt Cobain write a song that was sung by Hole

No we'll never stop believing
We will never stop believing

That's the Journey of our lives
That is our journey in life

So won't you help me 'Pour Some Sugar'
Let's celebrate with music

On these memories tonight?
Will you celebrate with me?

Sing it
The singer is encouraging people to sing along

Long live rock
May rock music live long

Long live roll
May roll music live long

Long live big guitars and music for the soul
May guitar music that touches the soul live long

Sing it
The singer is encouraging people to sing along

Don't give up, don't grow old
Don't give up on music and don't grow old

Long live crazy nights and records made of gold
May music that brings wild nights and records that remain a treasure-hold live long

Long live rock and roll
May rock & roll live long

Summer of '96, I got my first guitar
The singer got his first guitar in the summer of 1996

I played it till my fingers said
Played guitar until it was painful

"You're gonna be a star"
Was encouraged to be a successful musician

Grunge was everything, at least it was to me
Grunge music meant everything to the singer

A Marshall in my Chevy Sprint
A guitar amplifier was in the singer's Chevy Sprint

Just running down a dream
Pursuing the dream of becoming a successful musician

We still argue about who's better
People still argue over who's the best

Motley Crew or G&R
Motley Crew or Guns N' Roses

We still can't believe Van Halen
People can't believe Van Halen

Turned into Van Hagar
Changed its style to Sammy Hagar's style

Now the record shops are gone for good
Record shops aren't around anymore

And no one seems to care
No one seems to care

But me and you and all our friends
But singer and his friends care

'Keep Living On That Prayer'
The song 'Living On A Prayer' gives hope

Went to bed in Cleveland
The singer went to bed in Cleveland

Woke up in Tennessee
The singer woke up in Tennessee

No matter where I'll roll tonight
No matter where he goes tonight

I'm chasing history
He's chasing history

We still argue about who's better
People still argue over who's the best

The Beatles or The Stones
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones

They're forever 27
They died at 27

Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones
Speaking of famous musicians that died at age 27

And we stand here in their memory
Standing in memory of the deceased musicians

'Cause their songs, they still survive
Their songs live on

So throw your lighters up
People should raise their lighters as tribute

And, darling, sing with me tonight
Enjoy the music and sing along
