Lyrics:

He was a tough fifteen
He heard a guitar scream
And he knew he'd never be the same
It was magic
Like fire running through his veins
Got him a six string
Make your head ring
They said the boy must be insane
No one could understand
How good that guitar felt in his hands
He played it loud
To shut the whole world out
He thought he heard the crowd scream
Calling out his name
While he showed them all
(In the name of rock and roll)
He stood tall
(In the name of rock and roll)
He did it all
(In the name of rock and roll)
And he never stopped
That skinny kid was born to rock
Played that scene cool and clean
Rocked them down on a skin tight jeans
On the streets
They said the kid was gonna be king, yeah
Felt the beat, felt the heat
The road was hotter than he thought it could be
Closed his eyes
And never stopped chasing the dream, that's right
Could he make it great
Does he got what it takes
To go all the way
Well, there's a price to pay, yeah
But he showed them all
(In the name of rock and roll)
He stood tall
(In the name of rock and roll)
He heard the call
(In the name of rock and roll)
Well he did it all
And you know he'd do it all again
(In the name of rock and roll)
He stood tall
(In the name of rock and roll)
Yeah, he did it all
(In the name of rock and roll)
No, he never stopped, that skinny kid was born to rock
On a hot summer night
Under the white spotlight
You should have heard that boy play
He could've called out his name
He heard the crowd scream

(In the name of rock and roll)
(In the name of rock and roll)
This kid is hot
(In the name of rock and roll)
You'd better watch out, he's gonna blow you away
Like an old gunslinger (In the name of rock and roll)
With a quick itchy finger
That's squeezing that trigger for fame (In the name of rock and roll)
When he took the stage (In the name of rock and roll)
He knew they'd remember his name
He showed them all
(In the name of rock and roll)
He stood tall
(In the name of rock and roll)
He heard the call
(In the name of rock and roll)
Well he did it all
And you know he'd do it all again
(In the name of rock and roll)
He stood tall
(In the name of rock and roll)
He showed them all
(In the name of rock and roll)
And he never stopped, that skinny kid was born to rock
(In the name of rock and roll)
Born to rock
(In the name of rock and roll)
He's so bad
(In the name of rock and roll)
And he never stopped, that skinny kid was born to rock
(In the name of rock and roll)
(In the name of rock and roll)
He showed them all
(In the name of rock and roll)
And he never stopped, that skinny kid was born to rock
