Rock And Roll Time

Kris Kristofferson


Do I look like a loser? 
Do I stand in your way? 
A threat to your future 
You planned yesterday 
Well, I fought for my freedom 
Some called it a crime 
Convicted of running 
On rock and roll time 

Chorus:
I said rock and roll time 
Please take me away 
To the whiskey and wine 
Of some better day 
And 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 locked in your jailhouse
Oh, but I'm getting by 
Just hoping that heaven 
Is happy and high 
And everyone's running 
On rock and roll time 

Chorus:
I said rock and roll time 
Please take me away 
To the whiskey and wine 
Of some better day 
And if sometimes it seems 
I'm falling behind 
Remember I'm running 
On rock and roll time
