lyrics

Hail hail chuck berry, Hail rock and roll
Hail whatever it is we have, that gives us Soul
And hail hail the rhythm
and hail hail the blues
and hail hail the hero
The livin’ Johnny B Goode

well tonight, as I was standin there
feeling strange and quite aware
of an age that has since passed long ago
But atop the crowd a weary flame
Aged with years of a chanted name
A reminder of something we should all take home
that even if it’s all the same
an exhausted effort of forgotten days
you’re still in it, and you win it, because you know
that age aint just a number
it hits your bones it drains your head
but you don’t stop being alive until the day you’re dead

And I know im just a stupid kid
and I know that age aint hittin me yet
but when it does I hope that I never forget




That even when my time has come
and there’s a 6 feet deep hole they have dug
Even if I lived to be 84
I’ll know, I never grew old

So Hail Hail Chuck Berry
Hail Hail Chuck Berry
Hail Hail Chuck Berry
Hail Rock and Roll
