Hollies - Out On The Road - Текст песни

(Hicks / Lynch)
I wasn't there (I wasn't there) 
When I was needed (I wasn't there) 
I was out on the road 
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there) 
I should have been right by her side 
Like a good man ought to be 
But this rock'n'roll music sure gotta hold on me 

I wasn't there (I wasn't there) 
When my shack was burning (I wasn't there) 
I was out on the road playing with my rock'n'roll band (I wasn't there) 
While someone else put out the fire 
I was wailing my guitar 
Somehow this rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me 

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 
Picked up my baggage 
And I joined in a big rock show 
I knew that I had to go 

I wasn't there (I wasn't there) 
There for my wedding (I wasn't there) 
I was back on the road 
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there) 
But when I came off stage that night 
I found her waiting patiently, good girl 
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold 
Rock'n'roll music sure got a hold 
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me
