(Johnny Van Zant - Marvin Jarret - Robert Gay - Robert Morris)



In the hell raising business of Rock and Roll 

You gotta make it on your own 

DorIa put two feet in front of you 

And you always gotta be strong.



Only the strong survive it

Only the strong survive Rock and Roll

Only the strong survive it

Only the strong survive Rock and Roll.



You can't let it get you down

Because you ain't no star

You gotta push and shove and look above

It you're ever gonna get that far.



Only the strong survive it

Only the strong survive Rook and Roll

Only the strong survive it

Only the strong survive Rock and Roll.



When you're sittin' on top of the world

Don't let it get you high

Don't let it go to your nose

Or them fancy clothes

It's such a long way down

From the sky.



Only the strong survive it

Only the strong survive Rook and Roll

Only the strong survive it

Only the strong survive Rock and Roll...
