J. Brian - When the Last Band Plays Lyrics

I am known as a baby boomer
A generation defined post war
I was a kid with Chuck Berry and a teenager with the Beatles
A married man of classic rock via the Cars

I grew up with the greatest generational movement ever
Of music from Elvis British invasion Motown to the Boss
A generation of musicians forged in celebration
Of a rolling stone that rocks gathers no moss

It's unsure when that time will arrive
But I wanna be there when it does
I wanna watch the last band standing
I wanna feel that boom boom boom

Whoever said rock was dead was dead wrong
Rock will never die it'll live on
Last night was Steve Miller last year Ringo Starr
And McCartney rocked the house in my hometown

These songs will live on and breathe forever
Through tribute bands classic rock radio for sure
For the generations that came after rock's revolution
The boomers will pass on rock's torch

It won't matter where the venue sadly
Plays host to rock's last band standing
I wanna be there in celebration
And take it to my grave on the day when the last band plays

I wanna be there
When the last band plays rock's last lament
I wanna be there
When the last band plays rock's final event

I wanna be there
When the last band plays rock's last lament
I wanna be there
When the last band plays rock's final event
