Look sophisticated and they're in your face
They're from another time and another place
A second-hand guitar from an old hockshop
They're standing there, giving it all they've got

Stand the test of time, it will
Stand the test of time, it will
Stand the test of time again

Rock 'n' roll survivor
A rock 'n' roll survivor

Everyday life is becoming a drag
He's packed up his life into a bag
Tear in his eye and an old guitar
You find him sitting alone at the bar

Stand the test of time, it will
Stand the test of time, it will
Stand the test of time again

There's a sound in the night
Keeps you up, to feel alright
Takes you where you want to go
Takes you to the next show
