I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll, when it didn't cost a thing Stacks of scratched up 45's and taught myself how to sing What does it take to be a rock 'n' roll hero, just like the king Livin' your life in a blaze of glory, burnin' it up in a smoke filled club Givin' your soul to the world Chorus: Like a rock 'n' roll hero, a soldier of fortune in the night Like a rock 'n' roll hero, when the white hot lights cut thru the night And the sound of the thunder starts roaring That's when you know what you're savin' it for
And you're feeling like a rock 'n' roll hero I owe it all to rock 'n' roll, and i wouldn't want to change a thing Got this old guitar strapped round my neck, and my baby waitin' in the wings What does it take to be a rock 'n' roll hero, just like the king Livin' your life in a blaze of glory, a spark in your eyes A flame in your soul, givin' it all to the world (chorus) Yes you're feeling like, oh you're feeling like (chorus) (like a rock 'n' roll hero, like a rock 'n' roll hero)
