    It's Steve Winwood (Traffic)! "Memories Of A Rock n' Rolla"

    When i was a young boy i lived for rock 'n' roll
    We spent our time playing gigs and traveling on the road
    And we didn't have much money and the gigs were sometimes rough
    But playing music for the people seemed to be enough
    And the music is so sweet that it makes me tap my feet
    And my mind is very high, i can almost touch the sky

    Now i am a young man dressed in sparkling coloured clothes
    A country house and sixty acres are a heavy load
    We still have no money but we have some nice things
    Possession is, possessions are the trait that money brings
    And the snowflakes are so sweet as they fall around our feet
    And my mind is very high, i can almost feel the sky

    Now i am an old man, i know exactly what to do
    Never ask a question or ever give an answer to you
    And when you pass me by and you drop a penny in my hat
    Don't feel sorry on my account 'cause life can be like that
    And the music is so sweet that it makes me tap my feet
    And my mind is very high, i can almost feel the sky
    And the river rolls along like a never ever ending song
    And the river rolls along like a never ever ending song
