It's been too long since I felt this way

I don't mind (ooh, where I get taken)

The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize

I'm much too strong not to compromise

Now I see what I am is holding me down

I'll turn it around, oh, yes, I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'

I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

It's a bright horizon (ooh, and I'm awakin' now)

Oh, I see myself in a brand new way

The sun is shinin' (ooh, the clouds are breakin')

'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play

I can tell there's no more time left to criticize

I've seen what I could not recognize

Everything in my life was leading me on

But I can be strong, oh, yes, I can

I finally see the dawn arrivin'

I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

Ooh, far away and left behind, left behind

Oh, the sun is shinin' and I'm on that road

Don't look back (ooh, a new day is breakin')

Oh, It's been so long since I felt this way

I don't mind (ooh, where I get taken)

The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize

I'm much too strong not to compromise

Now I see what I am is holding me down

I'll turn it around, oh, yes, I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'

I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

Oh, far away and left behind

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

[Verse 1]

Well, come on

All you people

The time has come to get together

You gotta have a little rock 'n' roll music

To get you through the stormy weather

Just do whatever you feel

When you let go

Nothing's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]

So come on, put your hands together

Yeah, come on, put your hands together

Well, come on, you know it's now or never

Take a chance on rock 'n' roll

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, are you feeling satisfied?

Come on, let us give your mind a ride

Ooh, are you ready tonight?

Come on, let us give your mind a ride

It's up to you, you can do what you like

Come on, let us give your mind a ride

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

Oh, that funky feeling

Is what you need to get you through

Yeah, you oughta know

I'll tell you something

Don't let your troubles get to you

'Cause win or lose, it's all right

When you let go

Nothing's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]

So come on, put you hands together

Yeah, come on, put your hands together

Well, come on, you know it's now or never

Take a chance on rock 'n' roll

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, are you feeling satisfied?

Come on, let us give your mind a ride

Ooh, are you ready tonight?

Come on, let us give your mind a ride

It's up to you, you can do what you like

Come on, let us give your mind a ride

[Verse 1]

Oh yeah, well you know I don't get off on working day after day

I wanna have some fun while I'm here

I play the game when it's going my way

And there's nothing like a party when its kicking into gear

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm getting ready for a party tonight

Yes I'm getting ready to cruise

And if you've got something for me

I've got something for you

[Chorus]

Baby, it's a party and nobody cares

What we're doing there

Baby, it's a party as long as you're there

It's a party, party, party

[Verse 2]

I can't believe it when some people say

That it's a sin that way we live to die

You know, there's never been a more natural thing

There's a brand new story, but it's the same old lie

[Pre-Chorus]

So come on get ready for the time of your life

'Cause I'm getting right in the groove

And if you've got something for me

I've got something for you

[Chorus]

Baby, it's a party and nobody cares

What we're doing there

Baby, it's a party as long as you're there

It's a party, party, party

[Bridge]

So come on, oh come on, let's go get down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Get down and party if you need a cue

You're sure to find one in the crowd

Just meet your friends and have a toke or two

In a place where they can never play the music too loud

[Pre-Chorus]

And get ready for a party tonight

Cause I'm getting right in the groove

And if you've got something for me

I've got something for you

You know what I'm talking about?

[Chorus]

Baby, it's a party and nobody cares

What we're doing there

Baby, it's a party as long as you're there

It's a party, party, party

[Verse 4]

Now a man doesn't live on bread alone

He's got to have some loving each and every night

And a woman's got to have it if the truth be known

Let's get together honey, it's alright

I said, let's get together honey, it's alright

So come on, let's get together honey, it's alright

[Outro]

Aww, get down

Get down and party
