THE MANY FACES OF AC/DC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a right out of controller
I'm a wheeler
I'm a dealer
I'm a wicked woman stealer
I'm a bruiser
I'm a cruiser
I'm a rockin' rollin' man

I've got slicked back hair
Skin tight jeans
Cadillac car
And a teenage dream

I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
A rockin' rollin' man

Got little red socks
Blue suede shoes
V8 car
And tattoos

I'm a rocker
I'm a roller
I'm a rocker
I'm a roller

I'm a roller
A rockin' rollin' man
