Looking back, yeah, I feel alright

Getting more than my expectations

Yeah, my future looks clear and bright

I'm living up to my reputation



Yeah, I'm satisfied, yeah, until the day I die

I gave my blood and I gave my soul

I stood my ground and I took control

The legend's growing as the story's told

I pledge allegiance to the state of rock and roll

Oh yeah



I've been a rebel for all my life

I never cared about regulations

I only went for the things I liked

And my guitar was my inspiration



Yeah, we pay a price, yeah, I made the sacrifice

I gave my blood and I gave my soul

I stood my ground and I took control

The legend's growing as the story's told

I know that heaven's gonna wait

I pledge allegiance to the state of rock and roll



Yeah, I'm satisfied, yeah, until the day I die

I gave my blood and I gave my soul

I stood my ground and I took control

The legend's growing as the story's told

I know that heaven's gonna wait



I gave my blood and I gave my soul

I stood my ground and I took control

The legend's growing as the story's told

I pledge allegiance to the state

I pledge allegiance to the state

Of rock and roll, of rock and roll, rock and roll
