Well I'm a rock n' roll man
I got a rock n' roll band
I keep pretty busy, like to get out when I can
I got a rock n' roll woman
I'm her rock n' roll man
That is I was but now she's gone and I'm playin' the blues again
Seems like I always have bad news
Well I'm a rock n' roll man but
Looks like I was born to play the blues
Well I'm not too rich
And I'm not too poor
I got enough to live on, that's what my money's for
But then my check came back
When I tried to pay the rent
My money's here, my money's there, now I don't know where it's spent
Feels like I'm payin' someone else's dues
Well I'm a rock n' roll man but
Lord you made me for the blues
Well I don't give in
And I don't give up
I keep on tryin' gonna fill my cup
But the milk's gone sour
The coffee's weak
The past is a disaster and the future's lookin' bleak
Seems like I always have bad news
Well I'm a rock n' roll man but
Looks like I was born to play the blues
Yeah I'm a rock n' roll man but
Lord you made me for the blues
Yeah I'm a rock n' roll man
