Been under fire sixteen years, just waitin' for his time to come

He fought the lies, fought back the tears, can't wait to hear that starting gun

There ain't nobody gonna step on his dreams

So he held his hands high and screamed Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell He's on the edge, he can feel it in his heart

This time the pressure's really on

He's gonna fight it, might even steal a guitar

This time tomorrow he'll be gone

There ain't nobody gonna tell him what to do

Think he's a little like me and you Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell He's on the run, won't stand for second place, but his turn may never come

He's not a victim, you can see it in his face

But he can't see what he's become

Well, he wants it bad, but he wants no charity

He seems to think it's his destiny Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell
