Where's it gonna end When's it gonna stop... Or at least slow down so maybe I can get off My world's tied to the tickin' of a time clock If my life was a dance, it'd be the blue collar rock Elvis was king when I was a kid "Rock" was a thing that Chuck Berry did Now that I'm older, and slower and tired My life is certified--solid rock hard Where's it gonna end When's it gonna stop... Or at least slow down so maybe I can get off My world's tied to the tickin' of a time clock If my life was a dance, it'd be the blue collar rock I could have been a contender...never got the chance Might have been a dancer...never learned to dance Could have won the game...I just never got the cards My life is certified--solid rock hard Where's it gonna end When's it gonna stop... Or at least slow down so maybe I can get off My world's tied to the tickin' of a time clock If my life was a dance, it'd be the blue collar rock
