When the Last Band Plays

I am known as a baby boomer A generation defined post war I was a kid with Chuck Berry and a teenager with the Beatles A married man of classic rock via the Cars I grew up with the greatest generational movement ever Of music from Elvis British invasion Motown to the Boss A generation of musicians forged in celebration Of a rolling stone that rocks gathers no moss It's unsure when that time will arrive But I wanna be there when it does I wanna watch the last band standing I wanna feel that boom boom boom Whoever said rock was dead was dead wrong Rock will never die it'll live on Last night was Steve Miller last year Ringo Starr And McCartney rocked the house in my hometown These songs will live on and breathe forever Through tribute bands classic rock radio for sure For the generations that came after rock's revolution The boomers will pass on rock's torch It won't matter where the venue sadly Plays host to rock's last band standing I wanna be there in celebration And take it to my grave on the day when the last band plays I wanna be there When the last band plays rock's last lament I wanna be there When the last band plays rock's final event I wanna be there When the last band plays rock's last lament I wanna be there When the last band plays rock's final event
