The Road To Rock & Roll Lyrics - Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

On the road to rock 'n' roll 

There's a lot of wreckage in the ravine 

Some you recognize 

Used to hang out on the scene 

On the road to rock 'n' roll 

We'll be in the delta by and by 

And if you don't believe in good and evil 

You can tell the devil why 

On the road to rock 'n' roll 

Come on everybody drift away 

On the road to rock 'n' roll 

Where I learned to play 

Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll 

What I learned to play 

On the road to rock 'n' roll 

Everybody carries a good luck charm 

Said to spook the highway wind 

Blowing off old Parchman farm 

On the road to rock 'n' roll 

They'll try to hook you by the eye 

There's a mirror in your soul 

You should turn it to the sky 

On the road to rock 'n' roll 

The lonely sing a soulful song 

Leave a little light in the wilderness 

For somebody to come upon 

On the road to rock 'n' roll 

With everybody deep in their dreams 

And the snow is falling on the city 

Ask the music what it means
