Out On The Road Lyrics - Hollies

(Hicks / Lynch) 

I wasn't there (I wasn't there) 

When I was needed (I wasn't there) 

I was out on the road 

Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there) 

I should have been right by her side 

Like a good man ought to be 

But this rock'n'roll music sure gotta hold on me 

I wasn't there (I wasn't there) 

When my shack was burning (I wasn't there) 

I was out on the road playing with my rock'n'roll band (I wasn't there) 

While someone else put out the fire 

I was wailing my guitar 

Somehow this rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me

Somewhere I know, I sold my soul 

Sold it to the devil or the king of rock'n'roll 

Once I found out, what the music was all about 

Picked up my baggage 

And I joined in a big rock show 

I knew that I had to go

I wasn't there (I wasn't there) 

There for my wedding (I wasn't there) 

I was back on the road 

Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there) 

But when I came off stage that night 

I found her waiting patiently, good girl 

She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold 

Rock'n'roll music sure got a hold 

She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me
