Gabe Echazabal
I was born on a Sunday Morning.
I soon received The Gift of loving music.
Through music, I Found A Reason for living.
It was when I discovered rock and roll that I Was Beginning To See The Light.
Because through music, I'm Set Free.
It's always helped me keep my Head Held High.
When I started dancing to that fine, fine music, my life was saved by Rock And Roll.
I'll love it until the day I Ride Into The Sun.
...and That's The Story Of My Life...
