I can still remember when I bought my first guitar
Remember just how good the feeling was, put it proudly in my car
And I played my fans a thousand times my two song repertoire
And I told my Mom her only son was gonna be a star
I bought all the Beatles records, and I tried to sound like Paul
I bought all the old Buddy Holly's, the seventy-eights and all
And I sat by my record player playing every song they played
And I watched them all on TV, every move they made
Rock'n'Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
The dreamy sunny Sundays, all the magic moonlit nights
I was so busy in the backroom, writing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction, I never even knew
That I was always one step behind you
Sixty-six seemed like the year I was really goin' somewhere
We were living in San Francisco with flowers in our hair
Singing songs of kindness so the world would understand
That the guys and me were something more than just another band
And then '69 in LA, well it came around so soon
We were really making headway, and writing lots of tunes
And we must have played the wildest stuff, we had ever played
'Cause the way the crowd yelled out for more, we thought we had it made
Rock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
Playing my guitar under bright and flashing lights
I was so busy on the road singing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction I never even knew
That I was always one step behind you
‘71 in Soho when I met Suzanne
I was trying to go it solo with some else’s band
And she came up to me later on and I took her by the hand
And I told her all my troubles and she seemed to understand
And she followed me to London through a hundred hotel rooms
Through a hundred record companies that didn’t like my tunes
And she followed me til finally I sold my old guitar
And she tried to help me understand that I would never be a star
Rock and Roll I gave you all the best years of my life
The dreamy sunny Sundays
All the magic moonlit nights
And though I’ve never had the chance
Of making it with you
I thank the lord for giving me the little bit I knew
And I will always be one step behind you
