[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Back when I was younger, wild and bold and free
I can still remember, how the music used to be
Chords like rolling thunder, loud beyond control
Every note and lyric branded right across my soul
[Chorus 1]
Where did the rock go
Where s the rush of those electric guitars
Where are all those voices raised to heaven
Blazing down like shooting stars
Tell me where is the passion
Where s the rattle and the roar and the buzz
Where do last year s one-hit-wonders go to
And what happened to the girl I was
[Verse 2]
Somehow I got older, year by busy year
Guess the songs kept playing, but I didn t stop to hear
All that youth and swagger turned to grown-up doubt
as the world spun like a record, and the music faded out
[Chorus 2]
Where did the rock go
Where s the pounding of the drums in my veins
When did all the static fill the airwaves
When it s gone, then what remains
Tell me where did the time go
Where s the joy I used to know, way back when
[Bridge]
Where s the power and the beauty
Then the frantic end, the rapture
Where s the magic of the moments
only rock could ever capture
Now the only thing I m hearing
are the echoes disappearing
[Verse 3]
Sorry for the outburst, please, I ll be okay
Let s keep this our secret, who d believe it anyway
We ll pretend it never happened, file it and forget
Still, thanks for the reminder that there s music in me yet
[Chorus 3]
Where did the rock go
All those feelings that I learned to ignore
If you flip the record and start over
does it sound the way it did before
Where did the rock go
