Rock 'n' Roll Preacher Lyrics
(Chuck Girard)
When I was young my life was rock 'n' roll music Just diggin' the wonderful sound I'd get home from school and when I'd finished my lessons I'd listen to music 'til the sun came around I'd sit by the hour and pound my old piano Pick out the chords to the songs I'd heard on the air and on American Bandstand Just learnin' the words and then singin' along
But who'd ever thought I'd be a rock 'n' roll preacher 'Stead of just singin' the blues Who'd ever thought I'd be a rock 'n' roll preacher Singin' my song so you can hear the good news
INSTRUMENTAL
Now that I'm free my heart is filled with the gladness That comes when a life has been changed The song I now sing has a different ring The lyrics have meaning, but the tune is the same But I want you to know I still love rock 'n' roll music But now I have something to say I'll sing you my song and maybe you'll sing along And we'll make us a noise they'll hear in Heavenly places
Who'd ever thought I'd be a rock 'n' roll preacher 'Stead of just singin' the blues Who'd ever thought I'd be a rock 'n' roll preacher Singing my song so you can hear the good news
