Rock And Roll Time (McGuinn/Kristofferson/Neuwirth)


Do you think I'm a loser do I stand in your way
A threat to the future that was planned yesterday
I fought for my freedom some call it a crime
Convicted of running on rock and roll time
Rock and roll time please take me away
To the whiskey and wine of some better day
If sometimes it seems I'm falling behind
Remember I'm running on rock and roll time

I'm judged in your airports each time that I fly
I've been thrown in your jailhouse but I'm getting by
And I'm hoping that heaven is happy and high
And everybody's running on rock and roll time
Rock and roll time please take me away
To the whiskey and wine of some better day
If sometimes it seems I'm falling behind
Remember I'm running on rock and roll time
