The story follows a Polish woman who dreams of rock stardom despite living in a Sunday church choir town at best - no Rock 'N" Roll anywhere. She breaks free, forms a band, and makes it to the big city - all for love of Rock 'N" Roll, not money. Personal inspiration: I was commenting on one of her songs when I read a previous comment exchange. Someone asked "Excellent song. Do you go to rock bars in Poland?" and she replied, "there are no rock clubs." That little light bulb moment sparked the whole concept. Thanks for listening and especially for reading this! Rock on! 🎸

WOW… THANK YOU… So,… I wrote this next song about six years ago, sitting fiddling with my guitar ..........… well, and put this band together Ladies and gentlemen, playing with me tonight my wonderful Rock Band—

Anyway, I’ve never played this one live before, so… Jump up from that chair, throw your hands up high,

Shake your hips and free your soul.

It’s called “Small Town Rock ’n’ Roll” and it’s about… well, it’s about ROCK ’N’ ROLL dreams coming true.

Here we go…

I’m just a small-town girl from Poland way

Where Sunday bells ring out but rock won’t play

Got my little radio, searching through the static

For that wild sound that makes my heart ecstatic

No clubs, no stages, nowhere rock can grow

Just church choir voices saying “child, let go”

But I got my guitar, and I got my dreams

Rock ’n’ roll’s calling louder than it seems

Come on, come on, let’s rock and roll

*(Roll baby, roll!)*

Shake your hips and free your soul

*(Free it now!)*

Jump up from that chair, throw your hands up high

*(Way up high!)*

Rock ’n’ roll forever, we were born to fly

*(Born to fly!)*

They say “sing for the Lord, that’s your calling, child”

But my spirit’s got a rhythm that’s rock ’n’ roll wild

I respect your peace of mind, but I got mine too

Gotta break these small-town chains and see this journey through

Packed my bags and hit the road with fire in my heart

*(Yeah! Yeah! Rock and roll!)*

*(From small town to big dreams!)*

Found my tribe of rockers, now we’re making Rock ’n’ Roll

Come on, come on, let’s rock and roll

*(Roll baby, roll!)*

Shake your hips and free your soul

*(Free it now!)*

Jump up from that chair, throw your hands up high

*(Way up high!)*

Rock ’n’ roll forever, we were born to fly

*(Born to fly!)*

Now I finally broke free from that little town

Got my band together, we’re the hottest sound

From Poland to the world, we’re sharing what we feel

Rock ’n’ roll’s our language, rock ’n’ roll’s what’s real

(BREAK)

Shake your hips and free your soul

Jump up from that chair, throw your hands up high

Rock ’n’ roll forever, we were born to fly

Rock, rock, rock until you drop

Rock, rock, rock, we’ll never stop

From a small-town girl to the big bright stage

Rock ’n’ roll’s our freedom, rock ’n’ roll’s our rage!

“Rock and roll! Rock and roll! Rock and roll!”

**I LOVE YOU ALL — GOOD NIGHT!!!**
