American Rock ‘N’ Roll Lyrics

Oh Mr. Hendrix, how high he could fly
Loved those golden vocals from CSNY
Oh my, how Santana could play

Smoke and acid in our heads
Everybody trippin’ to the Grateful Dead
Oh Janis, gave us a piece of your heart

Gimme that good old American Rock 'N' Roll
Everybody loves American Rock 'N' Roll

My buddies Greg and Duane at the Fillmore East
Sweet Doobie Brothers take it to the streets
Mr. Seger kept us up all those Hollywood nights

A major eruption from the VH gang
Tommy Lee showing girls, girls how to bang
And welcome to the jungle Guns - Slash and Rose

Ah, gimme that good old American Rock 'N' Roll
You know everybody loves American Rock 'N' Roll

The Boss rocked us all day with Born to Run
The Teen Spirit led us into so much fun
Flea and Chad showed how to 'Give it a, give it away'
The Dude from Tyler and Perry can’t be beat
The grunge guys brought in Cornell and Vedder
And oh, Billy Joe was the biggest idiot of all

Ah, gimme that good old American Rock 'N' Roll
You know everybody loves American Rock 'N' Roll

Ah, gimme that good old American Rock 'N' Roll
I said everybody loves American Rock 'N' Roll

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
