  • I was a skinny little white kid
    Wrong side of the track kid
    Don't do that kid
    What the hell is wrong with him kid
    No, my rebel never run and my damn gave one
    I was just a boulder on a shoulder in a cul-de-sac dead-end street
    And rock and roll found me

    Like my faith, like my church
    My low like my high
    The better in my worse
    Come on baby "Light My Fire"
    Like a needle in my vein
    The crazy in my sane
    I turned on my amps and all at once my blind could see
    Yeah, when rock and roll found me

    I was a nowhere new town
    Do what your daddy do town
    Don't dream big town
    Born to get outta this town, town
    So I went looking for a reason
    Hunting outta season
    Crashed into some freedom
    On a levee at a break neck speed
    When rock and roll found me

    Like my faith, like my church
    My low like my high
    The better in my worse
    Come on baby "Light My Fire", my fire (fire)
    Like a needle in my vein
    The crazy in my sane
    I turned on my amps and all at once my blind could see
    Yeah, when rock and roll found me

    I was a laid-back caddy, rolling cool through the alley, heading for disaster
    When a black man's guitar stopped me at the edge
    And sang Billy Jo McAlister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

    Like my faith, like my church
    My low like my high
    The better in my worse
    Come on baby "Light My Fire"
    Like a needle in my vein
    The crazy in my sane
    I turned on my amps and all at once my blind could see
    When rock and roll found me

    I was a skinny little white kid
    Wrong side of the track kid
    No, don't do that kid
    Rock and roll found me
    When rock and roll found me
    When rock and roll found me
    When rock and roll found me
    Yeah, rock and roll found me
    When rock and roll found me
    Rock and roll found me
    Yeah, rock and roll found me Writer/s: Casey Beathard, Eric Church, Joseph Driver Williams Iii
