Words & Music by Fabio Melis © 2021
The lights go out but she stands out from the crowd
With her long red curly hair
That blows so free in the summer's wind
She dances while she's singing
The sign now says the band will play
Her favorite song and she could laugh or she could cry
'cause she's got a very good mood but a tender little heart
So come on baby call the roll
Here is the rock'n'roll show
Now let the music free her soul
It's nothing she can control
It's nothing she can explain
guitars & drums drive her brain
She can't even feel the rain
'Cause she's a slave with no chains to the music
Surrounded by high piles of books
She works so hard for her dreams and for good high grades
But when the radio starts playing songs like "Frankie"
Oh she can't stand still
And when at night she proudly wears
a bronze guitar pendant just above her breast
You'll always find a doe-eyed Man in love
That will ask her to be his wife
And she'll run away
So come on baby call the roll
Here is the rock'n'roll show
Now let the music free her soul
It's nothing she can control
It's nothing she can explain
guitars & drums drive her brain
She can't even feel the rain
'Cause she's a slave with no chains to the music
Her passion for rock’n’roll
Is a burning fire that will never fade
And it's a bright and shiny light so hard to find in someone else's eyes
It's pure energy
So come on baby call the roll
Here is the rock'n'roll show
Now let the music free her soul
It's nothing she can control
It's nothing she can explain
guitars & drums drive her brain
She can't even feel the rain
'Cause she's a slave with no chains to the music
Oh she's dancing yeah
I see her walking away
I see her walking away
She's dancing
She's dancing in the rain
