I sold my soul to rock and roll
When it didn't cost a thing
Stacks of scratched up 45's
I taught myself how to sing
What does it take to be a rock and roll hero, just like the King?
Livin' your life in a blaze of glory
Burnin' it up in a smoke filled club
Givin' your soul to the world
(Like a rock and roll hero)
A soldier of fortune in the night
(Like a rock and roll hero)
When the white hot lights cut through the night
And the sound of the thunder starts roaring
That's when you know, what you're savin' it for
And you're feeling like a rock and roll hero
I owe it all to rock and roll
And I wouldn't want to change a thing
Got this old guitar strapped around my neck
And my baby waitin' in the wings
What does it take to be a rock and roll hero, just like the King?
Livin' your life in a blaze of glory
A spark in your life, a flame in your soul
Givin' it all to the world
(Like a rock and roll hero)
A soldier of fortune in the night
(Like a rock and roll hero)
When the white hot lights cut through the night
And the sound of the thunder starts roaring
That's when you know, what you're savin' it for
And you're feeling like a rock and roll
(Rock, rock)
Yes, you're feeling like
(Rock, rock)
Oh, you're feeling like
(Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock)
(Like a rock and roll hero)
A soldier of fortune in the night
(Like a rock and roll hero)
When the white hot lights cut through the night
And the sound of the thunder starts roaring
That's when you know, what you're savin' it for
And you're feeling like, oh, you're feelin' like a rock and roll hero
(Like a rock and roll hero, like a rock and roll hero)
