We didn't have the time to think things over
We had a lot of fun, we had some tears
Stepping out of loneliness now the highways [sung -- "road"] don't
seem so long
After all these years

Rock 'n' roll has got a reputation
Bad boys cause a lot of fear
But I never meant to really hurt you Oh no no
After all these years

CHORUS: Travelling the world in a rock 'n' roll band
It's in my blood, it's in my blood
Oh but you know it's good to get back home
Dancing with your sister on a Saturday night
It's understood, it's understood
When every boy and girl ooh they're rocking all over the world

CHORUS

We didn't have the time to think things over
We had a lot of fun we had some tears
Stepping out of loneliness now the highways [sung -- "road"] don't seem
so long
After all these years
After all these years [written but apparently not sung:] (no more lonely
nights)
After all these years [ditto:] (goodbye loneliness)
After all these yea
