My baby is a rock n' roller.

I'm so tired of being tired.
Sure as night will follow day,
Most things I worry about
Never happen anyway.

It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls.
A sweet little queen who can't run away;
It's good to be king, whatever it pays.

No more songs tonight,
I'm drivin' to the break of day.
No more words tonight,
We've got enough to throw away.

Well I won't back down,
No I won't back down.
You could stand me up at the gates of hell,
But I won't back down.

They say be careful who you believe,
Be careful who you trust.
Did you smile when you pulled the trigger
That dropped me in the dust?

Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.
