I was born into the city life It's all that I've ever known You know it's rough gettin' round this place So crowded I can hardly breathe You can only see about a block or two In LA that's the truth I'm lookin' for some country life Some kickin' room no more city life I want the river

What's Wrong

G
Love the way you move me Love the way you groove me
D7
I believe in rock and roll
G
You're standing in the door girl Holding down the floor girl
D7
Come on and rock and roll
E7
So what's wrong with you girl?
A
What's wrong with being crazy?
Can't live with you So I think I'll live without you Play my rock and roll Your words drip with honey While you spend my money It's funny to watch you girl So what's wrong with you girl? |

Do what you want to, but baby don't you do it on me
Your mama thinks I'm crazy Your papa says I'm lazy 'Cause I play my rock and roll My head's gettin' hazy My knees are gettin' shaky From playin' my rock and roll I'm gone, I'm gone
A
C
D
Saved by rock and roll
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone It ain't very funny how you spend all my money, I'm gone, I'm gone Do what you want to, but baby don't you do it on me
