THE UNRELEASED & RELATED

Rock And Roll Survivor (Peter Criss, 1982)

---

Track Notes:
** While Peter Criss and Stan Penridge had recorded additional material and remixed the entire "Out Of Control" album in 1980, few demos circulate from the sessions of Peter's second post-KISS solo album. "Rock And Roll Survivor" is one of the few to make it into circulation and sees Peter singing more in a Bob Seger style reminiscing about his rock and roll lifestyle. In someways, the title would have been an appropriate album title for his second album, and would have made more of a link with the first album!

[Verse]
When I was a young man, playing in a young band
I knew the freedom, of living in a new land
But now that I'm older, and the feeling's getting colder
And I'm getting tired, of looking over my shoulder

[Verse]
Guilty greatest, from county stages
Some nights passed so quickly, and others lasted ages
And I know the good times, and I know the hard times
But in such a few years, I've lived a lifetime

[Chorus]
I'm a rock and roll survivor
I've learnt all that it takes
For each heart that catches fire
There's a thousand hearts that I'll break
And in a world of easy riders
Only outlaws are allowed
Just being a rock and roll survivor
It's enough to make me proud

[Verse]
There were changes, oh God what changes
The friends I had last night, today were strangers
But I moved on blindly, hoping love would find me
Cause I left my bridges, all burning behind me

[Chorus]
(Yeah!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
Rock and roll survivor
I'm a rock and roll survivor
