Out on the Road Songtext
von The Hollies

I wasn′t there
When I was needed
I was out on the road
Playin' with my rock ′n' roll band

I should have been right by her side
Like a good man ought to be
But this rock 'n′ roll music sure′s got a hold on me

I wasn't there
When my shack was burnin′
I was out on the road
Playin' with my rock ′n' roll band

While someone else put out the fire
I was wailin′ my guitar
Somehow this rock 'n' roll music sure′s got a hold on me, yeah


Somewhere I know
I sold my soul
Sold it to the devil or the king of rock ′n' roll
Once I found out
What the music was all about
I picked up my baggage and I joined in a big rock show
I knew that I had to go

I wasn′t there
There for my wedding
I was back on the road
Playin' with my rock ′n' roll band

But when I came off stage that night
I found her waiting patiently, good girl
She knows that rock′n'roll music sure's got a hold
Rock ′n′ roll music sure's got a hold
She knows that rock ′n' roll music sure′s got a hold on me
