Lyrics:
The first release on Bryan's label "Bad Records"
Been under fire for sixteen years
Just waitin' for his time to come
He fought the liars, and he fought back the tears
Can't wait to hear that starting gun

There ain't nobody gonna step on his dreams
So he held his hands high and screamed

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I don't wanna sdtay
Get me out of this rock and roll hell

He's on the edge, he can feel it in his heart
This time the pressure's really on
He's gonna fight it, might even steal a guitar
This time tomorrow he'll be gone, oh, oh, ooh

There ain't nobody gonna tell him what to do
Think he's a little like me and you, yeah

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
Yeah, oh, ooh

He's on the run, won't stand for second place
But his turn may never come, oh, oh, ohh
He's not a victim, you can see it in his face
But he can't see what he's become

Well, he wants it bad, but he wants no charity
He seems to think it's his destiny

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away
Get me out of this rock and roll hell
