At seventeen, the band forms
All my friends moved on higher education
By twenty-one, in the work force
On the stage alone

Got stuck with rock and roll
Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye

Left the old van by the roadside
Played the same dive for the fourth time
And now my friends are old
And they're jealous 'cause we never had to grow

Got stuck with rock and roll
Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye

Come and see us
We'll be dancin'

Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye
Rock and roll
Bye bye
