Do I look like a loser?

Do I stand in your way?

A threat to your future

You planned yesterday

Well, I fought for my freedom

Some called it a crime

Convicted of running

On rock and roll time Chorus:

I said rock and roll time

Please take me away

To the whiskey and wine

Of some better day

And if sometimes it seems

I'm falling behind

Remember I'm running

On rock and roll time I'm judged in your airports

Each time that I fly

I've been locked in your jailhouse

Oh, but I'm getting by

Just hoping that heaven

Is happy and high

And everyone's running

On rock and roll time Chorus:

I said rock and roll time

Please take me away

To the whiskey and wine

Of some better day

And if sometimes it seems

I'm falling behind

Remember I'm running

On rock and roll time
