There's a lot of wreckage in the ravine

Some you recognise

Used to hang out on the scene

On the road to rock 'n' roll



We'll be in the delta by and by

And if you don't believe in good and evil

You can tell the devil why

On the road to rock 'n' roll

Come on everybody drift away

On the road to rock 'n' roll

Where I learned to play

Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll

What I learned to play



On the road to rock 'n' roll

Everybody carries a good luck charm

Said to spook the highway wind

Blowing off old Parchman farm

On the road to rock 'n' roll

They'll try to hook you by the eye

There's a mirror in your soul

You should turn it to the sky



On the road to rock 'n' roll

The lonely sing a soulful song

Leave a little light in the wilderness

For somebody to come upon

On the road to rock 'n' roll

With everybody deep in their dreams

And the snow is falling on the city

Ask the music what it means



On the road to rock 'n' roll

Come on everybody drift away

On the road to rock 'n' roll

Where I learned to play

Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll where I learned to play

On the road
