Lyrics

[Verse 1] Whiskey flows on the rocks The river rolls as the sunset drops On the riverside, have a good time, be a late night A millionaire built this spot Where a bugle boy gonna lend his chops Under streetlights and the neon signs like the old times This all started with a man named Church Bought some land and street of dirt [Chorus] All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale [Verse 2] Revelers are raising hell Drink nirvana from the well Rolling dice games, getting sideways, showing switchblades Madame Blue and her southern belles I welcome all the clientele In the glory days, drinkin' champagne, let the money rain From Jagger to Richards, Plant and Page They were all born to carry the flame [Chorus] All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale Roll on, Bluff City Long live the bastards of Beale All hail to the kings Long live the bastards of Beale [Post-Chorus] Hey Hey Hey [Chorus] All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale All hail rock and roll Long live the bastards of Beale Roll on, Bluff City Long live the bastards of Beale All hail to the kings Long live the bastards of Beale [Post-Chorus] Hey Hey Hey
