Traffic - Memories Of A Rock & Rolla lyrics

When I was a young boy I lived for rock 'n' roll We spent our time playing gigs and traveling on the road And we didn't have much money and the gigs were sometimes rough But playing music for the people seemed to be enough And the music is so sweet that it makes me tap my feet And my mind is very high, I can almost touch the sky Now I am a young man dressed in sparkling coloured clothes A country house and sixty acres are a heavy load We still have no money but we have some nice things Possession is, possessions are the trait that money brings And the snowflakes are so sweet as they fall around our feet And my mind is very high, I can almost feel the sky Now I am an old man, I know exactly what to do Never ask a question or ever give an answer to you And when you pa** me by and you drop a penny in my hat Don't feel sorry on my account 'cause life can be like that And the music is so sweet that it makes me tap my feet And my mind is very high, I can almost feel the sky And the river rolls along like a never ever ending song And the river rolls along like a never ever ending song
