Memories Of A Rock N' Rolla Lyrics - Steve Winwood

When I was a young boy I lived for rock 'n' roll 

We spent our time playing gigs and traveling on the road 

And we didn't have much money and the gigs were sometimes rough 

But playing music for the people seemed to be enough 

And the music is so sweet that it makes me tap my feet 

And my mind is very high, I can almost touch the sky 

Now I am a young man dressed in sparkling coloured clothes 

A country house and sixty acres are a heavy load 

We still have no money but we have some nice things 

Possession is, possessions are the trait that money brings 

And the snowflakes are so sweet as they fall around our feet 

And my mind is very high, I can almost feel the sky

Now I am an old man, I know exactly what to do 

Never ask a question or ever give an answer to you 

And when you pass me by and you drop a penny in my hat 

Don't feel sorry on my account 'cause life can be like that 

And the music is so sweet that it makes me tap my feet 

And my mind is very high, I can almost feel the sky 

And the river rolls along like a never ever ending song 

And the river rolls along like a never ever ending song
