Lyrics


I got my guitar when I was 10 years old

Found a love in rock an' roll

Now I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown

I'm gonna give my body and soul


It's so crazy

But you know that I like it

I've found a cure for my body and soul

I've got me an overdose of rock and roll


I jammed everyday

I jammed every night

I practiced till I knew all the licks

Now I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown

I don't know the meaning of quit


It's so crazy

Yes you know, but I like it

It crushes my head, my brain is on the border

But this is what the doctor ordered

Yes, it is


I jammed everyday

I jammed every night

I practiced till I knew all the licks

Now I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown

I don't know the meaning of quit


It's so crazy

But I like it

It crushes my head, my brain is on the border

But this is what the doctor ordered
