Lee Roy Parnell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mi corazon es de los que todavia buscan
en el viento alguna solucion
me siento vivo
y vivo en el rock
porque me enseĂąo la risa
cuando solo habia desesperaciĂłn
liberate solo por hoy
se donde voy
pero estoy lejos
Rock del futuro salvame hoy
mundo perdido a donde voy?
Rock de mi tremenda suerte
por tenerte siempre cuando cae el sol
Rock es lo Ăşnico que tengo
y no busco tener mas
me enseĂąaste a andar liviano
y a tender la mano al hombre que esta mal
Rock de la calle y de la suerte liberate
solo por hoy
se donde voy pero estoy lejos
rock del furturo salvame hoy
y cuando me llegue la hora
de dormir en un cajon
alguien golpeara mi puerta,
mi alma no esta muerta,
mientras haya rock
Rock de los que estamos solos
rock de la resurrecciĂłn,
rock de los que todavia buscan
en el viento alguna soluciĂłn
