Lyrics
Mr. Chuck Berry you still can carry me back to my yesterdays
that old Maybalene song sure is strong medicine when you play
you got a heat that beats in four four time ,I think I got one in me
cause at 45 I come alive when the fifties sing to me.
I'm Holding on to Rock ands Roll
Holding on to Rock and Roll
If I living to fast I'm sure dying slow
holding on to Rock and Roll
maybe you don't grow old
Holding on to Rock and Roll
A swinging soul never gets cold
Holding On to Rock and Roll
Old Jerry lee does something to me all that shaking makes me high
I still swing the girls with the sexy curls they say my gray hair is a lie
come Friday night it don't seem right sittin home watchin TV
When the clock strikes nine I'm the first in line to let that music transfuse me.
Rpt Chorus
