I had this girlfriend once. One day she told me it was time for me to get a job. This kind of thinking doesn't sit with me very well and normally I would have been out the door. But this time I wrote a song instead. That'll show her!

lyrics
Lesson Or Two
Everyday I got the blues
Put on some coffee and tie my shoes
Read the paper and make my bed
Then I go straight out of my head
I’m a rock n roller baby don’t you know
People come to see me I really stop the show
When it comes to loving you
Baby maybe I could use a lesson or two
Out the door and down the street
Moving to the big rock beat
There’s no work that I want to do
Baby maybe I got a bad attitude
I’m a rock n roller baby can’t you see
Everybody wanna party with me
When it comes to loving you
Baby maybe I could use a lesson or two
Come on baby I’m trying to explain
Rock n roll just drive me insane
There’s no work that I wanna do
Baby maybe I got a bad attitude
I love you baby and that aint no lie
I never mean to make you cry
But I won’t lay down my guitar
‘till my name;s in lights baby I’m a star
I’m a rock n roller baby don’t you know
People come to see me I really stop the show
When it comes to loving you
Baby maybe I could use a lesson or two
