I went to a pawn shop and I bought a guitar.
A guy there said I could become a star.
I told him, I didn't care if I went real far.
But it's all right, cause I'll rock all night!

When I got home, I heard my mom say,
"Better take that thing back, better take it away!
You're not gonna sit on your butt and play all day."
But it's all right, cause I'll rock all night!

Gonna rock, gonna rock, gonna rock all night!
Gonna rock, gonna rock, gonna rock alright!
Gonna rock, gonna rock, gonna rock all niiiiight

I got an amp and I play real loud.
If Hendrix could see me now, I know he'd be proud!
Kids playing in the evening, the crowd goes wild!
But it's alright, cause I'll rock all night!

My best friend bought himself a bass,
He plays real well, he could melt your face!
He's not allowed out, during the day.
But it's alright, cause we'll rock all night!

Gonna rock, gonna rock, gonna rock all night!
Gonna rock, gonna rock, gonna rock alright!
Gonna rock, gonna rock, gonna rock all niiiiight

So me and my buddy started a band
Pretty soon we had a couple of fans.
We started selling cds and t-shirts out of my mom's van.
We released a couple cds.
Went back and fourth between different record companies.
We started to tour... but lost all of our money.
