[Verse 1]
Looking back, yeah, I feel all right
Getting more than my expectation
Yeah, my future looks clear and bright
I'm living up to my reputation

[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm satisfied
Yeah, until the day I die

[Chorus]
I gave my blood, and I gave my soul
I stood my ground, and I took control
The legend's growing as the story's told
I pledge allegiance to the state of rock and roll
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
I've been a rebel for all my life
I never cared about regulations
I only went for the things I liked
And my guitar was my inspiration

[Bridge]
Yeah, we pay a price
Yeah, I made the sacrifice
[Chorus]
I gave my blood, and I gave my soul
I stood my ground, and I took control
The legend's growing as the story's told
I know that heaven's gonna wait
I pledge allegiance to the state of rock and roll

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm satisfied
Yeah, until the day I die

[Chorus]
I gave my blood, and I gave my soul
I stood my ground, and I took control
The legend's growing as the story's told
I know that heaven's gonna wait

I gave my blood, and I gave my soul
I stood my ground, and I took control
The legend's growing as the story's told
I pledge allegiance to the state
I pledge allegiance to the state of rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
