In a little town in Texas
Where we sheltered from the storm
Everybody seemed to get us
And knew where we were coming from
It's like the way you used to hold me
And whisper in my ear
I wish someone had told me
We wouldn't last another year
They say the music's all that matters
When your dreams are dead and gone
And your hearts been broken, shattered
And there's nothing left to do
Wrong, wrong
Well fine, fine
Love of mine
Gone from my life for good
Well I only wish you could
I'm mean, mean
Like a machine
Someone's unplugged my heart
I've gotta hope one day it starts to beat again
But there's a feeling and it gets inside of me
When they play the music loud
(play the music loud)
It makes me happier than I've got the right to be
Only rock and roll can do that now
Well you don't stay young forever
It's all been said and done before
And you should never get too clever
Cause every day can be a closing door
Yeah lights lie in stupid lines
Make a little sense of things
But for all the good that brings you
When you'll need me like a machine
Someone's unplugged your heart
You've gotta hope one day it starts to beat again
And if you're saying that you want no piece of me
I'll be bloody but I won't be bound
Cause its not as though you saved me recently
Only rock and roll can do that now
But there's a feeling and it gets inside of me
When they play the music loud
(play the music loud)
It makes me happier than I've got the right to be
Only rock and roll can do that
Only rock and roll can do that now
