We made it through the lonely
days
But Lord the nights were long
And we'd dream of better moments
When mama sang a song
Now I can't recall the words at
all
It don't make sense to try
Cause I just knew lots of love
came through
In that rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing
Guitar 2

Sha na na na na na na na na na

Nothin' eased my sole like the
sound of a good ol' rock and
roll lullaby
