Once there was a little girl
One night she looked inside her soul
And all she saw was rock and roll
Her dad bought her an old guitar
She never dreamed she'd be a star
She worked her fingers to the bone
Roebuck silver tone guitar
She played that guitar all day long
Then put her feelings into song
Who said, child you got just what it takes
We all knew she'd leave somehow
To find the world she dreamed about
She never turned around that day
To see her sister wave to her and say
Goodbye little rock and roller
Gee, sure was good to know ya
Goodbye, my little rock n' roller,
Like everybody knew she would
She put a rockin' band together
They made plans, they cut a record
The rest was history they say
She took off down the fast highway
And people came from miles around
Every night she burned them down
And all the fortune and all the fame
And all the lights around her name
And every night was now a never,
the road just seemed to go forever
And all her dreams that had come true,
they didn't thrill her like they used to
She never thought she'd grow to hear a
voice inside her strong and clear sing
Goodbye little rock and roller,
gee it sure was good to know ya
Goodbye my little rock and roller,
She found a place down by the sea
And there she learned that life goes on
Life is more than just a song
You'll never guess what happened then
She met a gentleman named
Ben and together they made
made a baby girl they named
Lucille to sleep each night then
sang her lullabies she'd write she thought
her heart would break in two the
first time she heard mom I love you then one
day her baby girl walked outside to
She never dreamed she'd see the day
she'd be fighting back the tears to say
goodbye little rock and roller.
Gee it sure was good to know you.
Goodbye my little rock and roller,
Goodbye little rock and roller.
Gee it sure was good to know you.
Goodbye my little rock and roller, goodbye.
