	Story Behind the Song Written after an arguement with my fiancee (now wife) Colleen over my irresponsible, loutish behaviour; typical of me for the mid to late '80's. Thie version was recorded in September/October 1997 for the "Gimme Shoulder" CD. My wife sings backup and plays claves on this version! Lyrics I'm always late, I'm never on time, You're always mad, I always cry, I promise you I'll change my tune, But it's too late, I got the blues REFRAIN: You always say I can't survive, but Rock and Roll keeps me alive, I've lived so hard, I should be dead, but Rock and Roll it's been my friend I stay out late, all of these nights, Partyin' down to my delight, You don't agree, you say it ain't right, But it's just me, I love the night You think I'm too wild, and too untamed, I'll wreck my life, it's such a shame, You may be right, but you may be wrong, But I've been crazy for too damn long
