Rock N Roll Man Lyrics - Welder - Elizabeth Cook

He got all of his money tied up in guitars 

His poster hangin up at an east side bar 

Sets his tip bucket up by the microphone stand 

He don't think about it, he's a rock n roll man 

I tried to run him off and set the record straight 

He said girl you know better now, we're soulmates 

Only one speaker working and his amp's blown out 

Doesn't get what the hell the Grateful Dead is about 

Wears a gold lightening bolt in one of his ears 

Likes to talk about Elvis, but only in the Sun years 

He got sheets over the windows and records on the floor 

A poster of Jimi Hendrix on his bedroom door 

He didn't go to college but he's read a lot of books 

Married one time for money and one time for looks 

There's always fist-fightin and drama in the band 

Over cigarette ashes in a Budweiser can 

Left town one time and didn't call me for 3 days 

But he lets me know he loves me in other ways 

Got my name spelled out in a dagger a tattoo 

Says I'm the only woman that he can talk to 

Thinks Brando and The Wild One and The Mystery Train 

Are proof that rock n roll cannot be explained 

Owes all kinds of money, but don't believe in debt 

He'll be the first to tell ya, it ain't over yet 

Sometimes we're Sid and Nancy or Courtney and Kurt 

We get higher than heaven we get lower than dirt 

It's the fightin' and the lovin' that make it work 

Too lazy to be mean, and too mean to hurt 

Make up and take me shopping at the Southern Thrift 

Thanks the devil for his story and God for his gift 

He got all of his money tied up in guitars 

His poster hangin up at an east side bar 

Sets his tip bucket up by the microphone stand 

He don't think about it, he's a rock n roll man 

He's a rock n roll man 

He's my rock n roll man
