1973 by Ashley Sofia Lyrics

It's the craziest thing; being 23
And looking in the mirror and seeing what I see

I'm an awful lot like my old man
Running away in a rock and roll band
Sometimes I think it's more than my Ma can stand

But I won't give up this dream
The one one my daddy gave to me

'cause I was raised on Rock and Roll
Singin' Neil Young's 'Heart of Gold,'
This old guitar has always lead me home
To stompin' my feet on wooden boards
Strummin' these same damn old chords
Singin' those songs till we got hoarse

And no I won't give up this dream
The one my daddy have to me- from 1973

When I'm back in my hometown
He takes my bags and says he's proud
But sometimes I play a little too loud
I laugh, it's the same back then as it is now
Your old man would climb the stairs and pound your door
Sayin' "Billy, turn it down!"

Back when:

You were playin' Rock and Roll
Singin' Neil Young's 'Heart of Gold,'
This old guitar has always lead you home
To stompin' your feet on wooden boards
Strummin' these same damn old chords
Singin' those songs till you got hoarse

And no I won't give up this dream
The one you gave to me
From 1973

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Helplessly Hoping, John Denver, and a little Jim Croce
Cash, Emmy Lou, Dylan, and Joni, a little Paul Simon when I got lonely

No, i've never been alone, I've never been alone
I've never spent one day alone

'Cause I was raised on Rock and Roll
Singin' Neil Young's 'Heart of Gold,'
This old guitar has always lead me home
To stompin' my feet on wooden boards
Strummin' these same damn old chords
Singin' those songs till we got hoarse
And no I won't give up this dream
The one my daddy have to me- from 1973
