Lyrics
Once there was a little girl
Unlike any in the world
One night she looked inside her soul
And all she saw was rock and roll
Her dad bought her an old guitar
He never dreamed she'd be a star
She worked her fingers to the bone
On that Sears and Roebuck Silvertone guitar
She played that guitar all day long
Put her feelings into song
Sang her songs for Lula Mae
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 my little rock and roller
Gee it sure was good to know you
Goodbye my little rock and roller
Goodbye
She hitchhiked to Hollywood
Like everybody knew she would
She put a rockin' band together
And 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
While every night she burned 'em down
And all the fortune and all the fame
And all the lights around her name
And every night was now or 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 my little rock and roller
Gee it sure was good to know you
Goodbye my little rock and roller
Goodbye
She found a place down by the sea
The place was called Serenity
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 gentle man named Ben
And together they made love so real
They made a baby girl they named Lucille
She rocked Lucille to sleep each night
