[Verse 1]
We didn't have the time to think things over
We had a lot of fun, we had some tears
Stepping out of loneliness
Now the road don't seem so long
After all these years
Rock and roll has got a reputation
Bad boys because a lot of fear
But I never meant to really hurt you, oh no, no
After all these years

[Chorus]
Traveling the world in a rock and roll band
It's in my blood, it's in my blood
Ooh, but you know, it's good to be back home
Dancing with your sister on a Saturday night
It's understood, it's understood
When every boy and girl
Ooh, was rocking all over the world

[Bridge]
After all these years

[Chorus]

[Outro]
We didn't have the time to think things over
We had a lot of fun, we had some tears
Stepping out of loneliness
Now the road don't seem so long, long, long, long, long
After all these years [x3]

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
