about

For those with a musical background based on early seventies rock, there are many details in this track that are easy to recognise. This song was written at a time when Betty's health was in poor condition and her only wish was to be able to perform on stage once more.
Her greatest joy was to have Fendahlene, a band that Betty loves very much, as guests on the backing vocals.

Rock on, brothers and sister: "age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.” - Mark Twain

lyrics

I wanna rock `n` roll
And wish to travel the world
But you will join my ride
I need to have you all by my side
Don’t forget to smile
The most important thing in life
‘Cause music will last forever
And will keep us together
Till the end of our time

Don’t tell me to stop right now
I’m not ready to go yet
What’s wrong if I want to play with my band and have no regrets?
Every day I die a little anyhow

Yes, I know that I’m too old
To rock and roll around the world
I don’t care, ‘cause I feel alright
Just one more song and then good night
Stand by me, enjoy the vibe
I’ll be your joy, you’ll be my pride
Music is my inspiration
And the best compensation
For the pains in my life

Don’t tell me to stop right now
I’m not ready to go yet
What’s wrong if I want to play with my band and have no regrets?
That’s all that matters anyhow
