American Rock N’ Roll Monster Machine
©Jerry Axson

Well I thought I heard you call me back in ‘73,
when I had nothing to live for,
your FM sounds really blew me away,
your eight tracks left me wanting more,
I grew up fast and I grew up hard,
just the way you wanted me to,
I keep it hungry and it keeps me lean -
American Rock N’ Roll Monster Machine...

I bought my first guitar when I was fifteen years old,
taught myself to play day and night,
something about flesh bending steel on wood,
I knew that I was getting it right,
I’ve never loved nothing the way I love you,
what’s a poor monkey to do?
I keep it tight and it keeps me mean -
American Rock N’ Roll Monster Machine...

I thought about quitting just the other day,
thought about shutting it down,
but I looked out across a vacant land,
and knew that I was here for the sound,
I’ll never love nothing the way I love you,
what’s a poor monkey to do?,
I’ll wash this thing til’ it shines and gleans -
American Rock N’ Roll Monster Machine...

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
