Hollies Out On The Road Lyrics

Out On The Road Lyrics

(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
