[Verse 1]
I was a skinny little white kid, wrong side of the track kid
"Don’t do that" kid, "What the hell is wrong with him?" kid
No, my rebel never run and my damn gave one
I was just a boulder on a shoulder in a cul-de-sac dead-end street
And rock and roll found me

[Chorus]
Like my faith, like my church, my low, like my high
The better in my worse, come on, baby, “Light My Fire”
Like a needle in my vein, the crazy in my sane
I turned on my amps and all at once, my blind could see
Yeah, when rock and roll found me

[Verse 2]
I was a nowhere new town, "do what your daddy do" town
"Don’t dream big" town, "born to get outta this town" town
So I went looking for a reason, hunting out of season
Crashed into some freedom on a levee at a breakneck speed
When rock and roll found me

[Chorus]
Like my faith, like my church, my low, like my high
The better in my worse, come on, baby, “Light My Fire”
Like a needle in my vein, the crazy in my sane
I turned on my amps and all at once, my blind could see
Yeah, when rock and roll found me
[Bridge]
I was a laid-back caddy, rolling cool through the alley
Heading for disaster
When a black man’s guitar stopped me at the edge
And sang, "Billy Jo McAlister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[Chorus]
Like my faith, like my church, my low, like my high
The better in my worse, come on, baby, “Light My Fire”
Like a needle in my vein, the crazy in my sane
I turned on my amps and all at once, my blind could see
Yeah, when rock and roll found me

[Outro]
I was a skinny little white kid, wrong side of the track kid
"No, don’t do that" kid, when rock and roll found me
When rock and roll found me
Yeah, rock and roll found me
Rock and roll found me
