I was a skinny little white kid
Wrong side of the track kid
"Don't do that" kid
What the hell is wrong with him kid
No, my rebel never run
And my damn gave one
I was just a boulder on a shoulder
In a cul-de-sac dead-end street
But rock and roll found me
Like my faith, like my church
My low like my high
The better in my worse
Come on, baby, "Light My Fire"
Like a needle in my vein
The crazy in my sane
I turned on my amps
And all at once my blind could see
Yeah, when rock and roll found me
♪
I was a nowhere new town
Do what your daddy do town
Don't dream big town
Born to get outta this town, town
So I went lookin' for a reason
Huntin' out of season
Crashed into some freedom
On a levee at a breakneck speed
When rock and roll found me
Like my faith, like my church
My low like my high
The better in my worse
Come on, baby, "Light My Fire" (my fire)
Like a needle in my vein
The crazy in my sane
I turned on my amps
And all at once my blind could see
Yeah, when rock and roll found me
I was a laid-back caddy
Rollin' cool through the alley
Headin' for disaster
When a black man's guitar
Stopped me at the edge
And sang Billy Jo McAlister
Jumped off the Tallahatchie bridge
Like my faith, like my church
My low like my high
The better in my worse
Come on, baby, "Light My Fire" (my fire)
Like a needle in my vein
The crazy in my sane
I turned on my amps
And all at once my blind could see
When rock and roll found me
