I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll
When it didn't cost a thing
Stacked up scratched up 45's
And taught myself how to sing

What doesn't it take
To be a rock 'n' roll hero?
Just like the King

Livin' in a blaze of glory
Burnin' it up in a smoke filled club
Givin' your soul to the world

Like a rock 'n' roll hero
A soldier of fortune in the night
Like a r0ck 'n' roll hero

When the white-hot lights cut through the night
And the sound of the thunder starts rearing
That's when you know what you're saving it for
And you know the feeling like a rock 'n' roll hero

I owe it all to rock 'n' roll
And I wouldn't want to change a thing
Got this old guitar strapped 'round my neck
And my baby waitin' in the wings
What doesn't it take to be a rock 'n' roll hero?
Just like the king

Livin' in a blaze of glory
A spark in your eyes, a flame in your soul
Givin' your soul to the world

Like a rock 'n' roll hero
A soldier of fortune in the night
Like a rock 'n' roll hero

When the white-hot lights cut through the night
And the sound of the thunder starts rearing
That's when you know what you're saving it for
And you know the feeling like a rock 'n' roll hero....
