Been under fire sixteen years, just waitin' for his time to come
 He fought the lies, fought back the tears, can't wait to hear that starting gun
 There ain't nobody gonna step on his dreams
 So he held his hands high and screamed

 Chorus:
 Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
 Get me out of this rock and roll hell
 Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
 Get me out of this rock and roll hell

 He's on the edge, he can feel it in his heart
 This time the pressure's really on
 He's gonna fight it, might even steal a guitar
 This time tomorrow he'll be gone
 There ain't nobody gonna tell him what to do
 Think he's a little like me and you

 chorus

 He's on the run, won't stand for second place, but his turn may never come
 He's not a victim, you can see it in his face
 But he can't see what he's become
 Well, he wants it bad, but he wants no charity
 He seems to think it's his destiny

 Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
 Get me out of this rock and roll hell

 chorus repeats out
