(Kris Kristofferson - Roger McGuinn - Bob Neuwirth)

Do I look like a loser do I stand in your way
A threat to the future you planned yesterday
I fought from my freedom some called it a crime
Convicted of running on rock and roll time.

I said rock and roll time, yeah, please take me away
To the whiskey and wine or some other day
And if sometimes it seems I'm falling behind
Remember I'm running on rock and roll time.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm judged in your airports each time that I fly
I've been locked in your jailhouse oh but I'm a gettin' by
Just hoping that heaven is happy and high
And everyone's running on rock and roll time.

I said rock and roll time, yeah, please take me away
To the whiskey and wine or some other day
And if sometimes it seems I'm falling behind
Remember I'm running on rock and roll time.

Just remember I'm running on rock and roll time...
