Got my first ticket in my daddy's car
My chrome drums in the back shined like a star
I said Mister please let me go
I'm a rock and roller late for my show
Yes son I know but that ain't what I pulled you over for
Now son, you know
This ain't the first time I've heard that story before
My chrome drum set still shines like a star
In the back of my pickup, in the headlights of cars
My chrome drum set still sees some eyes
At the bar on most Fridays, we go on at nine
Oh, don't you know I've got a record with my name on it
And it didn't come free
Oh, lord knows I've got a barstool with my name on it
Rock and roll took a lot from me
