Bette Midler - Sold My Soul To Rock 'n' Roll Lyrics






Drive me home silver eagle.
Drive me away from last night's news.
Empty beds, crowds of people.
Oh, come on, white girl, sing the blues.

Warm mister, hold me like you love me.
Why don't you make me
feel real good for free?
And if free don't mean for nothin',
let's just say this one's on me, yeah!

You know I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
I bought these devil chains.
My baby wants me home. Can't refuse him.
Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.

Whoa, I need a short vacation,
restin' in my baby's arms.
But the road goes on
forever, forever, forever.
It keeps on going,
but I'm gone, gone, gone.

Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
Bought these devil chains.
Whoa, baby wants me home. Can't refuse him.
I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.

Did you like it?
Was it good?
Don't it make you want to cry-hi-hi?
Did you like it?
Oh! Am I good?
Is it worth another try-y-y?
AAAAAAA!!!!

Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.

  1. J.... H....

    Don't like her personally (Dunno Why ) yet respect her talented pipes

  2. W.... ....

    Yuck! Bette Midler is disgusting.

    W.... ....

    That’s your opinion, BUT I’m just Glad that someone who is incapable of perceiving what genuine talent is, and therefore lacks the ability to distinguish between a person who is displaying Genuine talent ( God-Given)versus a person displaying Fake Artificial talent (Machine-Given), that THIER opinion matters very little , if even at all

  3. m.... ....

    Big Brother and the Holding Company.

    Bette Midler should have gotten the Academy Award for this role. Nobody could have played this role like her; nobody could even come close.

    S.... W....

    I have this movie on DVR. I feel like I'm at a concert every time I watch it. Bette was robbed! Her performance is stellar.

    S.... W....

    @J Gal : I think that most people who saw "The Rose", also think Bette Midler was robbed. Nobody could have played that role anywhere near as good as she did. I never waste my time watching the Academy Awards anymore. I haven't watched it in over twenty-five years.

    Steve Williams Academy Awards are rigged. Might as well be. Arnold Bourbon Amaral 🎼🎹🎶🎧

    Yes she certainly should have!! But unfortunately the only award she got for this Amazing Role was her being Blacklisted, She was pretty much kept out of Hollywood and THIER movies for just about a decade !!! Why you ask??? I think it had to do with her role and her acting portrayal of the Burned-Out Junky-Druggie Superstar The Rose, which by all standards was ABSOLUTELY FUCKING PHENOMENAL!!! I think she BLEW THEM AWAY WITH HER GENUINE GOD GIVEN TALENT, which encompassed her total being, quickly bringing out the realization that Bette isn’t an actress . Bette is a Genuine Star Performer , one like in the days of Judy Garland. In those days the bar for stardom was much higher. The criteria ( which Hollywood still should uphold to this day) for one to be in a motion picture was basically a person that embodied 3 talents but in THIER presentation these 3 separate talents would join together seamlessly and become 1. The 3 talents are .... being able to act, to be able to sing, and to be able to have stage presence/ dance.
    Bette had and has them all. Not only does she possess these talented qualities. But every single one of them are known to be Star Quality.
    She Blew Hollywood away with her all around stage presence, her incredible voice, and her outstanding acting bringing The Rose to life and a sure audience pleaser and on its way to be a Box Office Hit !! Making the movie and the star an upcoming Academy Award Nominee. In which ( if not rigged) both her and the movie would of had excellent chances of bringing home some Academy Awards.
    But that wasn’t supposed to happen??? They had no idea that having Bette cast as The Rose would make not just a movie BUT an AWESOME Movie. One that when people saw it ...they would expect it to definitely be up in the Academy Awards, and if not ,people would wonder??And that would create problems with the whole industry, casting suspicion which could raise questions, causing light to shine on some dark hidden places, revealing some hidden things pertaining truths about the Academy Awards
    which are usually in the dark , safe from questioning minds
    If the truth comes out in one thing, then all else is not safe anymore.

    So as to not put the industry at Risk they pretty much killed thier own movie and also the star of the movie
    They black listed Bette and the movie.
    She and the movie never got the recongnition it earned and deserved.
    They successfully kept it out of the light, hiding it under bad reviews.
    As for Bette , she disappeared, not making any movies until the mid 80s. I think Big Buisness was the 1st movie I saw her in . Followed by Stella. Then finally in the nineties she got to make an Awesome movie called Beaches. I think that was the movie that brought her back from ... Even though I love Beaches and I thought she did a stunning job, it was still no comparison to my favorite movie. The 🌹
