Another night begins right on time
Tastin' the sin ain't no crime
Rock'n Roll insteada sadness
To party's my solution

I blow the blues and the troubles away now cause I hate to cry
I don't need the sorrow cause I just prefer being a runaway

Shake down and roll
Shake down and roll
Shake down and roll
Why don't you do it like I do

Well I got to run and I got to hide
To kill all the pain I feel deep inside
Can't stop now I gotta go
Gotta deal with my illusion, ugh
Burn the night won't come down
Strut my stuff all over town
Rock'n Roll 'steada sadness
To party's my solution

I blow the blues and the troubles away now cause I hate to cry
I don't need the sorrow cause I just prefer being a runaway

Shake down and roll
Shake down and roll
Shake down and roll
Why don't you do it like I do
...and gimme a smile...

I blow the blues and the troubles away now cause I hate to cry
I don't need the sorrowc ause I just prefer being a runaway

Shake down and roll
Shake down and roll
Shake down and roll
Why don't you do it like I do
