Rocking Chair - Phil Campbell, Leon Stanford

Let me tell you where it all began

Born to raise hell back in '61

Before I heard the sound of the motor run

Before the young ones and those bastard sons

First job that I ever had

I drove deliveries around for my dad

Played drums in cabaret for £20 back in that day

Didn’t even know how to spend my pay

But knew I’d live my life this way

I’m not sitting in no rocking chair

I’ll be playing in this rocking band

Gonna play it to whoever’s there

Playing in a rocking band

I’m not sitting in no rocking chair

I’ll be playing in this rocking band

Gonna play it to whoever’s there

Playing in a rocking

Playing in a rocking band

Played every bar in the south of Wales

Got my first Les Paul in the New Year’s sales

I was riding high in those Persian days

But I took a risk that would change my ways

I took my chances and I saw the stars

Handprints on Hollywood Boulevard

Jimmy taught me the rain song and signed my guitar

Three sons and a loving wife

I’ve met my heroes in a wonderful life

I’m not sitting in no rocking chair

I’ll be playing in this rocking band

Gonna play it to whoever’s there

Playing in a rocking band

I’m not sitting in no rocking chair

I’ll be playing in this rocking band

Gonna play it to whoever’s there

Playing in a rocking

Playing in a rocking band

I stood outside back then, I was just a fan

Handed Lemmy my demo, didn’t know my best friend was this man

Didn’t know we’d travel the whole world together

We had the whole world screaming

I don’t wanna live forever

I don’t want to live forever

I’ve seen the rocks, whiskey and Jack

I’ve had some knocks, I want my best friend back

Just to play it one more time

Playing in a rocking band

I’m not sitting in no rocking chair

I’ll be playing in this rocking band

Gonna play it to whoever’s there

Playing in a rocking

Playing in a rocking band
