https://www.reverbnation.com/doughealey(c)2016 words and music by doug healey All Rights Reserved Rock n Roll Days well she motions to the screen wth her hands and smiles look who's on the TV now he hasn't changed a bit since I remember when some thirty years ago now I took her on a birthday to a place she loves a place she knows so well it reminded her of times when she would pour back Cuervo till the cows came home we waited in the lobby till the crowds got mellow and the stars were hangin' low she couldn't settle down till she heard her song playin' on the radio rock n roll days rock n roll days she listens as the guitar plays rock n roll days rock n roll days I see the blue light cast a shadow as it flickers on her face now help me to remember as she listens to him sing I can't recall to save my soul now what the hell's his name and the blue light starts to flicker once again it's his smile that draws me in Solo oh how she sits there like an angel as the band begins to sing and lights another candle for the lost says a little prayer each time the church bells ring you can see the blue light flicker while she's carrying the cross rock n roll days rockn roll days listens while the music plays rock n roll days rockn roll days see the blue light cast it's shadow as it flickers on her face Lord help me to remember as I listen to the song I can't recall to save my soul now what the hell went wrong rock n roll days rock n roll days just listens as the music plays rock n roll days rock n roll days see the blue light cast it's shadow as it flickers on our face rock n roll days rockn roll days she says another prayer just in case and the blue light starts to flicker once again oh it's her smile that draws me in

Doug,
I have admired your music for a while now but this one is my favorite! Whenever I hear an original song I like, I emediatly try to think of a performer it might remind me of. Although there are a few singers I could hear belting it out, this one just sounds like Doug Healey doing his thing! Thanks for sharing!

They said wrong was all we could do right back then--That devil music will lead you straight to hell. But they were wrong and we were right--the blue light still flickers!!!!!
Rock on--

Thanks for the listen folks. Haven't been writing much lately, and this tune just sort of happened... Two days from inception to finish and it ain't half bad! Ha! Glad you enjoyed it. Doug
