Lyrics
THIS ROCK AIN'T GONNA ROLL
c2017 Plimmer/Ryan
From San Berdoo to San Antone
I've been around the block
When it comes to old school country
I'm as solid as a rock
With all these honky-tonks I've played
The road sure takes its toll
But I'm not about to change my ways
This rock ain't gonna roll
This rock ain't gonna roll
Brother, I don't got no choice
It's the grit inside that rules my ride
Puts the gravel in my voice
Got twenty years of battle scars
Reachin' right down to my soul
At the Ryman or in country bars
This rock ain't gonna roll
For years I was workin'
Drivin' herd or drivin' nails
Although I waited for some luck
My heads just came up tails
But once I found this ol' guitar
My heart was in control
Now with every show, one thing I know
This rock ain't gonna roll
CHORUS
This rock ain't rollin'
I'm standing strong
This rock ain't rollin'
I'm holding on
SOLO
Yeah I'm rough around the edges
But right now I'm feelin' blessed
For them folks who buy my records
Every song that they request
Don't care if I hit number one?That money can't feed a soul
I'll keep playin' till the day I'm done
This rock ain't gonna roll
CHORUS
