When I was a boy, I had so much to live for
Life was an open door, and time was on my side
Then I became a man, so so much come and go
Life was good and bad, with all those highs and lows
When my world turns upside down
Save my soul without a doubt
You are the song that won't go away
I'm gonna sing you forever night and day
You are the one in my hall of fame
Don't take it away
In the middle of the night, lying in my bed
Memories of you, spinning in my head
Radio is dead, no, that wasn't a cry
But I can't download you, to keep my dreams alive
Nothing in this life's for free
But music lives in you and me
You are the song that won't go away
I'm gonna sing you forever night and day
You are the one in my hall of fame
Don't take it away
Don't take it away
Take it away
Oohh yeah!
Take my joy and all my pride
Rock-n-roll will never die (oh no)
You are the song that won't go away
I am gonna sing you forever night and day
You are the joy the sun and the rain
Don't take it away
Yeaah!
You are the song that won't go away
I am gonna sing you forever night and day
You are the one in my hall of fame
Don't take it away
Don't take it away
Don't take it away
No, no, no!
Don't ever take it away from me
Don't ever take it away from me
Don't ever take it away from me
Don't ever take it away from me
Don't ever take it away from me
Don't ever take it away from me
Don't ever take it away from me
No, no, no!
