Forgot my six-string razor hit the sky Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised Well I rang the information my axe was cold They said she rides the train to Oreoles Now its a mighty long way down the dusty trail And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails 'N I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail Well I got to Oreoles y'know it took a month And there was myguitar electric junk Some spade said Rock'n'rollers You're all the same Man that's your instrument I felt so ashamed Now its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star but you're still on the dole All the way from Memphis Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold 'N you gotta stay young man you can never be old Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star But you're really out on parole
