HELPED SHAPE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

FROM PENS OF ALL SONG WRITERS
HANDS OF BLUESMEN AND TCHAIKOVSKY
THERE CAME A CERTAIN SOMETHING
THAT HAS CHANGED MUSIC HISTORY
MADE POPULAR IN THE NAME
OF SOME BOY FROM MISSISSIPPI
CARRIED ON WITH MANY MORE
ONE WHO CLAIMED HE WOULD KISS THE SKY

OH YEH

(CHORUS)

THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
HELPED SHAPE ROCK 'N' ROLL
OH YEH
HELPED SHAPE ROCK 'N' ROLL
IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAY THEY'VE
HELPED SHAPE ROCK 'N' ROLL
OH YEH
HELPED SHAPE ROCK 'N' ROLL

MANY FENDERS AND GIBSONS
HOOKED UP TO HIWATTS OR MARSHALLS
ALL THOSE TALES OF OL' BLUESMEN
SELLING THEIR SOUL AT THE CROSSROADS
ROCK STARS SMASHING INSTRUMENTS
TV'S THROWN FROM THEIR HOTEL ROOM
SOMETHING THAT THEY WERE SMOKIN'
ENCOURAGED THEIR STORIES TO BLOOM

OH YEH

(CHORUS)

HOPE MORE STEP UP TO THE PLATE
BRING THIS STORY UP TO DATE
ALL HELPING IN THEIR OWN WAY
PICK UP THAT GUITAR AND PLAY

(SOLO)                                                                          

TALES OF HARD HEADED WOMEN
PLAYING ALL OF THEIR DIRTY TRICKS
PURR OF HARLEYS AND INDIANS
RIDING ALONG ROUTE 66
CAMAROS AND CADILLACS
SUPERCHARGED WITH BIG WIDE WHEELS
ROOF DOWN RADIO TURNED UP
HARD TO DESCRIBE HOW THAT FEELS

OH YEH

(CHORUS)

OH YEH
HELPED SHAPE ROCK 'N' ROLL

(CHORUS)

OH YEH
HELPED SHAPE ROCK 'N' ROLL
