I was drivin' down the highway
Thru' a desert in the middle of the night
Well I don't know where that came, bright city lights

I searched the map, but couldn't find it
Still I swore I had this city in sight
And it gave me the creeps,

somethin' here wasn't right, no.

I met this crazy guy by a crashed limousine

And asked where the hell I was
But when I saw his face I lost my breath
It was Keith Moon and man he scared me to death


He said:
Welcome to rock'n'roll city

Everybody here is a star
Welcome to rock'n'roll city
Everybody drives a flashy car

Down in rock'n'roll city.

Well, I drove on, down the main street

I felt so shaky, had to park the car
Man, I needed a drink, so I searched out a bar
Well inside I saw these people

They were all dead rock'n'roll stars
I saw John Lennon was there, leanin' 'gainst the bar


There was Cochran, Bolan, Joplin was there
Buddy Holly and Jim Morisson
And Elvis said one thing, before he'd sing:

Hey folks! You know I'm still the king

He said:

Welcome to rock'n'roll city
Everybody here is a star
Welcome to rock'n'roll city

Brian Jones and Hendrix plays guitar
Down in rock'n'roll city


I woke up next morning
With my head against the wheel
I had been dreamin' it all

It didn't happen for real.
But I'm sure those guys are jammin' somewhere
Hey man, 1 wish that i could be there


I wanna':
Go to rock'n'roll city

Coz' everybody there is a star
Go to rock'n'roll city
Jammin' with the boys in the bar


I wanna':
Go to rock'n'roll city

Coz' everybody there is a star
Go to rock'n'roll city
Jammin' with the boys in the bar

Down in rock'n'roll city
