Songbook :: You Sold Your Soul For An E-String (Rock'n'Roll Is A Hard Life)

Rock'n'Roll is a hard life
You know the stage better than your wife
You sold your soul for an e-string
But now taking "E" is the only thing
chorus
you're burning out/ burning out
you're burning out/  burning out


O rock'n'roll hero of the distant past
Are you trying to tell me that fame will last?
There's a neon glory on your balding head
You have a smiling face, but your eyes are sad
chorus
instrumental


You gotta play all night & loose the day
and in the afternoon there's hell to pay
Get on with working your way up to the top
Being an immortal is a tough job!
chorus

You met your old lady when she was a fan
Now she can't stand you - but nobody can
She had a baby boy some years ago
Maybe it's yours - well, what do you know?
chorus
instrumental
You know you're burning out, burning out,
Without a doubt you're burning out
There is a cloud upon your head
Your balding head & soon you be dead
You're burning out, burning out,
Without a doubt you're burning out
You're out!


Rock'n'roll is a hard life
But still it all hurts like a knife
You sold your soul for an e-string
Being your own legend is the only thing
chorus
left for you/ left for you
'cause you're burning out/  burning out
