Life Sentence Lyrics - Singles - Pleasure

erse 1 

Well I grew up in a rock n' roll town, 

Used to stand outside clubs and listen to the sound. 

Les Paul through a Marshall stack, 

Blew my eardrums, threw me back. 

The first time I picked up a guitar, 

I knew it was for me, didn't have to look far. 

Verse 2 

So I joined up my very own band, 

Played dingy bars and beach bandstands. 

We covered rock n' roll, and played the blues, 

Anything the singer would do. 

We made an album and the very next day, 

We got a record deal and were on our way. 

Verse 3 

Headlining tour, millions of fans, 

We even made it big in Japan. 

Rolling Stone wants us on the cover, 

Didn't take us long to discover. 

That when you win album of the year, 

People tend to treat you like some kinda hero. 

Verse 4 

Well I'm in this; I'm in it for life. 

On the road too long, can't keep a wife. 

Big house, lots of money, new car, 

Can't never see 'em, I'm always too far. 

Dropped outta school, not much knowledge in my head, 

But I'll play rock n' roll till the day I'm dead.
