Taking Up Rock and Roll Songtext
von Maya de Vitry

Well, I′ve been quiet and I've been good
I′ve been sweet as I could
I'm pretty when I try, so I've been told
But today′s the day I′m taking up rock and roll

And ever since I got pleasing people out of my mind
I sure got a hell of a lot of free time
Sored through the tall tales of old
Yeah, today's the day I′m taking up rock and roll


Didn't it wash a little fear away
The day I heard Rosetta play?
Didn′t it rain a big river right through my soul?
Yeah, today's the day I′m taking up rock and roll

Well, my mind got heavy but my heart got free
And my hands got busy telling me
All about the songs they long to hold
Yeah, today's the day I'm taking up rock and roll

And my baby′s coming home when the sun goes down
But I′m leaving in the morning for Chicago town
Yeah, today's the day I′m taking up rock and roll
Yeah, today's the day I′m taking up rock and roll
Yeah, today's the day I′m taking up rock and roll
Yeah, today's the day I'm taking up rock and roll
