Story Behind The Song
Every year or so someone declares that Rock N Roll is dead. I beg to differ, its still quite alive and lively, not to mention fun to dance to. I tried to keep the feel of the music in keeping with the era, but still sound current. Americana Rock N Roll!

Lyrics
Can't Stop Rock N Roll
Verse 1
People talkin' sayin' Rock N Roll is dead
I keep hearin' it in my head
Keeps rollin' round up in there
Say what they say, I don't care
Pre-Chorus
The drums are jumpin', bass is thumpin' in time with the lead guitar
The beat keeps pumpin', the groove is tougher than anything you ever heard
Chorus
They keep tryin', But you know they'll never win
No, No, No, No; No they'll never win
Keep on tryin' 'cuz you know they'll never win
:I Can't Stop Rock N Roll I:
Verse 2
I went down to the club the other night
DJ was workin' but loosin' the fight
No one was dancin', just sittin' around
Yelled "Put on some Skynard, and turn it up loud!"
Pre-Chorus
The room started movin', everyone's groovin' in time to the lead guitar
The beat's infectious, in fact it let's us tune into the stars
Chorus
Some keep tryin', But you know they'll never win
No, No, No, No; No they'll never win
Keep on tryin' 'cuz you know they'll never win
:I Can't Stop Rock N Roll I:
Bridge
They been tryin' for years and years
Played on everyone's fears
Still you know in the end
:I Can't Stop Rock N Roll I:
Repeat out
