Lyrics

I heard it on the news this morning
Another legend passed away
And I was struck with the memory
Of the last time I ever saw him play
So I put those records on, and I’m wrapped up in a song
In my mind, he’s never truly gone

It’s a sad day when you lose the spark
And the lights go down on a Rock ‘n’ Roll heart
It’s the last call for a lost art
When the lights go down on a Rock ‘n’ Roll heart

I found my jacket in the attic
That I wore when I was back in school
In the pocket was a ticket
For that band we all thought was cool
Yeah we loved to sing along, even when the words were wrong
The music kept us going all night long

It’s a sad day when you lose the spark
And the lights go down on a Rock ‘n’ Roll heart
It’s the last call for a lost art
When the lights go down on a Rock ‘n’ Roll heart

From Amy to Zevon, from Aretha to the Ramones
I just need to hear that first note, and I feel like I’m coming home

With just a song you can light a spark
The sun never goes down on a Rock ‘n’ Roll heart
Every new voice is a shot in the dark
The lights never go down on a Rock ‘n’ Roll heart
The sun never goes down on a Rock ‘n’ Roll heart
