Do you think I'm a loser do

I stand in your way

A threat to the future

That was planned yesterday

I fought for my freedom

Some call it a crime

Convicted of running on rock and roll time

Rock and roll time please take me away

To the whiskey and wine

Of some better day

If sometimes it seems

I'm falling behind

Remember I'm running

On rock and roll time

I'm judged in your airports

Each time that I fly

I've been thrown in your jailhouse

But I'm getting by

And I'm hoping

That heaven is happy and high

And everybody's running

On rock and roll time

Rock and roll time

Please take me away

To the whiskey and wine

Of some better day

If sometimes it seems

I'm falling behind

Remember I'm running

On rock and roll time
