[Verse 1]
I've got a livin' that's rough, a future that's tough
You know what I mean
Blankers and boasters, all the bluffers and posers
I'm not into that scene

[Chorus]
You can tell me that I got no class
Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last
Don't give me speeches cause they're oh-so droll
Leave me alone, let me rock and roll

[Verse 2]
Got an itchin' to rock, a hate for small talk
I'm funny that way
Got my sights on the stars, won't get that far
But I'll try anyway

[Verse 3]
I just like to please, I don't like to tease
I'm easy like that
Don't like long rests, I must confess
I'm an impatient cat

[Chorus]
You can tell me that I got no class
Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last
Don't give me speeches cause they're oh-so droll
Leave me alone, let me rock and roll
[Bridge]
I do the best that I can
I'm just what I am
I do the best that I can
Well, I know what I am

[Instrumental Break 1:43–2:29]
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I do the best that I can
I'm just what I am
I do the best that I can
Well, I know what I am

[Verse 2]
Got an itchin' to rock, a hate for small talk
I'm funny that way
Got my sights on the stars, won't get that far
But I'll try anyway

[Verse 4]
Rock and roll-in's a scream, makin' millions my dream
Well, I do that a lot
I'll just give it a try, won't let good times pass me by
They're all I've got
