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 years
