Rock 'N' Roll Lyrics
Led Zeppelin
Lyrics
It's been a long time since I rock 'n rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes it has
It's been a long time since the book of love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from
wouwoo...
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
ahaa... yea...
guitar
woo...
Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows (that) just can't work right
Yeah, open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running, in
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
yea... hay.
uyea... uyea... uyea.
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
