[Verse 1]
I used to listen to that rock and roll music because it always soothed my soul
I used to listen to that rock and roll music because it made me lose control
And then I listened for the shock of the new, yeah, to learn how to grow my own
And now I listen to that rock and roll music, remember how I felt before

[Refrain]
Woah, woah, I never believed it was dead and gone
Woah, woah, I, only a dream, but the dream is strong
It's never been gone

[Chorus]
Sooner or later, you got to grow your own, you got to roll your own, baby
And sooner or later, you got to grow your own, you got to roll your own, baby

[Verse 2]
I used to hang around the clubs in Boston because it made me feel alright
I was in awe of the fine musicians who took the stages every night
One time some members of the Nervous Eaters recognized me on the T
One time the bass player from Til Tuesday told me that she listened to me

[Refrain]
Woah, woah, I never believed that I could belong
Woah, woah, I, only a dream, but the dream is strong
What took you so long?
[Chorus]
Sooner or later, you got to grow your own, you got to roll your own, baby
Sooner or later, you got to grow your own, you got to roll your own, baby

[Outro]
You got to grow your own, baby
You got to grow your own, baby
You got to roll your own, baby
You got to grow your own, baby
