| Mac Davis Miscellaneous Rock & Roll (i Gave You The Best Years Of My Life) Rock And Roll (I gave the best years of my life) Mac Davis I can still remember When I bought my first guitar, Remember just how good the feeling To put it proudly in my car, And my fam'ly listened fifty times To my two song repertoire. I told my mom Her only son was gonna be a star. Bought all the Beatles records, I sounded just like Paul, I bought all the old Chuck Berry's 78's and all I sat by my record player Playing ev'ry note they played. I watched them all on TV Making ev'ry move they made. Rock and roll, I gave you all The best years of my life All the dreamy sunny Sundays, All the moonlit summer nights. I was so busy in the backroom Writing love songs to you While you were changing your direction And you never even knew That I was always just one step behind you. '66 seemed like the year I was really going somewhere; We were living in San Francisco BR With flowers in our hair, BR Singing songs of kindness BR So the world would understand, BR To the guys and me you were something more BR Than just another band. BR BR And then sixty-nine in L. A. BR Came around so soon, BRWe were really making headway BRAnd writing lots of tunes, BRAnd we must have played BRThe wildest stuff that we had ever played, BRAnd the way the crowds cried out for us, BRWe thought we had it made. BR BRRock and roll, I gave you all BRThe best years of my life, BRAll the crazy, lazy, young days, BRAll the magic moon at night. BRI was so busy on the road BRSinging love songs to you, BRwhile you were changing your direction BRAnd you never even knew BRThat I was always just one step behind you. BR BRSeventy-one and so alone BRWhen I met Susanne, BRI was trying to go it solo BRWith someone else's band. BRShe came up to me later BRAnd I took her by the hand, BRAnd I told her all my troubles BRAnd she seemed to understand. BR BRAnd she followed me through London BRThrough a hundred hotel rooms, BRThrough a hundred record companies BRWho didn't like my tunes; BRShe followed me when finally BRI sold my old guitar, BRShe tried to help me BRUnderstand I'd never be a star. BR BRRock and roll, I gave you BRAll the best years of my life, BRAll the dreamy, sunny Sundays, BRAll the moonlit summer nights, BRAnd though I never knew BRThe magic of making it with you, BRThat I thank the Lord for giving me BRThe little bit I knew, BRAnd I was always just one step behind you.
