I was born in " Dirty Town; early heard the heavy sound Of pounding drums and loud guitars on the radio My mama always said to me " Boy it's time for you to see Life is work, in fourty years you'll be a lucky man"
But I was smart and I qiut school started smoking, breaking rules Bought myself a use guitar in a " Second hand" My clever brain said: "Well Jimmy, you are born to be free Let the others suck your dick, you're gonna be a star"
Here I go, no more sorrows Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll is all I want I just piss on hell and heaven Meet me on the road, let's have some fun
Fame and money, chart-success, never had a shortage of Girls, who scared the back of my Firebird T My manager just said to me " Boy it's time for you to see Crazy people don't live long, learn self-control"
I drew my 45 and shot the bastard right between the eyes They sentenced me to fourty years, but I didn't care My record company was quick and fired me, eat some shit Are you gonna go my way or follow the blind
Here I go, no more sorrows Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll is all I want I just piss on hell and heaven Meet me on the road, let's have some fun
I ran away, escape the law, beware the lonesome rider No home, no hope, no alcohol; I'm back on the streets And then the devil said to me: "Boy it's time for you to see That you're doing well, on the highway to hell"
The scales were falling from my eyes I would have to change my life Now I understood and knew what to do I cut my hair and bought myself a noble suit and silken tie And all the things I did before are legal and okay
Here I go, no more sorrows Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll is all I want I just piss on hell and heaven Meet me on the road, let's have some fun
