Mama always said that
good things happen to those that believe in God
And there have been
few instances of her being wrong
Cause I still don’t
know if dying is good or bad
Mama always tried to
show me that in God’s Kingdom I belong
And there has never
been a reason that I couldn’t write a song
So why should I
discard all the good teachings I’ve had
And throw it all away
for rock and roll
Let the devil music
get hold of my soul
Well the devil once
been a good spirit
And mama always said
to look for the good in everything
But not only that
rock’s been so good to me
It’s the reason I hold
my guitar and try to sing
Rock n’ roll, sweet
rock n’ roll!
(Music)
You might see me go to
church on one day
Then you see me out
here trying to play
Then you see me down
at the hip hop place
And when you see me
you wonder where else you saw my face
You might see me on
the edge of town
And I’ll stand with
you on the higher ground
I love to go to church
and praise the Lord
Yes I love singing all
those holy songs
But don’t you
criticize my good judgement
I said I’m a rocker
and that is permanent
But way down to the
core of it all
I’m just a good ole
boy!
Who will rock the
night away
Get down on my knees
and pray
And I’m never gonna do
anybody wrong
Just let me be let me
sing my song
I got soul, I got
Spirit, I got goodness
Now don’t you try to
tell me I ain’t got all this
Cause you don’t know
me like God do
And you don’t know me
but I do
And I don’t want you
to compromise your belief
But I don’t want you
to condemn mine
Cause I belief once
God sees your heart there’s relief
Though it mightn’t be
on your own time!
(Solo)
So let me rock, let me
roll, let me scream out loud!
Cause when I rock and
I roll I fell so proud!
But don’t stop me from
going to my holy gathering
Cause when I’m there
it’s my praise I’m offering
You got your way and I
got mine
Jesus came to save all
mankind!
You say I can’t have
my cake and eat it too
But I don’t get my
cake until everyone’s true
Don’t you know the church
is just a small congregation?
Don’t you know there
are a hundred million nations?
Don’t you know in
church I feel salvation?
And everywhere else I
get inspiration!
I’m a man to be good
to my wife
And I’m not messing
around with this life
Cause God gave me a
gift with a purpose
And my motivation
comes from all of us
So please let me be
who I wanna be
Cause if I ain’t me
I’m a nobody
And mama sometimes
said I’d be just what I want to be
But whatever road I
choose will be all up to me
Though some signs along
would inspire me
So let me pray, let me
rock, I am free
Cause I love praising!
Oh sweet Sweet praising!
Thank you God for
Blessing me to rock!
In Jesus Name!
(Music)
