When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
I wear my leather jacket like a great big hug,
Raidiating charm, a living cloak of luck,
The only concrete link with an absent friend,
A symbol I can wear till we meet again
It's a weight around my neck
While the ....... is free,
Both protector and reminder of mortality,
It occurs I cannot shirk responsibilits
From a teacher turned a pupil it's a give to me.
Cos I love my leather jacket, and I wear it all the time.
I love my leather jacket.
I love my leather jacket, and I wear it all the time.
I love my leather jacket.
I love my leather jacket,
I love my vanished friend.
I love my leather jacket,
I love my vanished friend.
I love my leather jacket, and I wear it all the time.
I love my leather jacket, and I wear it all the time.
Everybody should pick up a guitar
It's the American Way
You can play your part
Give it all your heart
Soon, you'll be the no-good rage
Soon, you'll be there on the stage
Singin'
I Stand Tall
I stand proud of what I am
I Stand Tall
I stand proud of what I am
I get a thrill when I click on my TV
Faitfully every night
I'm so proud to say
I was born and raised
Here, where the streets are paved
Here, in the USA
Singin'
I Stand Tall
I stand proud of what I am
I Stand Tall
I stand proud of what I am
You can circle the globe if you think you'll find a better plan
Lots of movie stars, if you're a movie star fan
Lots of pizza, ice cold Coke
Johnny Carson telling jokes
and lots and lots of American good, good girls....
I Stand Tall
I stand proud of what I am
I Stand Tall
I stand proud of what I am....
or alternately:
Do you remember Hullabaloo ,
Upbeat , Shindig and Ed Sullivan too?
Do you remember rock 'n' roll radio?
Do you remember rock 'n' roll radio?
Do you remember Murray the K ,
Alan Freed , and high energy?
It's the end , the end of the 70's.
It's the end , the end of the century.
Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin' so no one can see
We need change , we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
Oh-oh
Will you remember Jerry Lee , John Lennon ,
T-Rex and Ol' Moulty?
It's the end , the end of the 70's.
It's the end , the end of the century.
Well I hear tell you're doing well good things have come to you
I wish I had your happiness
And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do
They tell me you're runnin' free your days're never blue
How I wish I had you good luck charm
And you had a do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do-wacka-do
Yeah I see you goin' down the street in your big Cadillac
You got girls in the front you got girls in the back
Yeah and way in the back you got money in the sack
And both hands on the wheel and shoulders rared back rip-pip-du-aa
