Nickelback - San Quentin

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Let's get this circus on down the road
We're takin' bets how far a tank of gas will go
Call up your best friend, then call two more
About to do some shit that you ain't seen before
There ain't no backdoor, there ain't no sign
Location changes almost every other night
Last time we found it, can't remember much
I thought I was a God until my lawyer woke me up and said

{Chorus}
I testify that I was right out of my mind
Let the record show I did it all for rock and roll
Screamin' every night, playing 25 to Life
So somebody please keep me the hеll out of San Quentin
Out of San Quentin
Just keep me out of San Quеntin
Ooh, can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin?

{Verse 2}
Got out on bail, we hit the town
Somebody told me we should burn it to the ground
Too many favors, too much to drink
Come 6 AM, they had me back inside the clink

{Chorus}
I'm gonna testify that I was right out of my mind
Let the record show I did it all for rock and roll
Screamin' every night, playing 25 to Life
So can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin?
Out of San Quentin
Oh, just keep me out of San Quentin
Ooh, can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin?

{Instrumental Break}

{Bridge}
Tough to find, a goddamn alibi
Wrong or right, it's tough to justify
Can't dismiss, too many witnesses
When insanity's the pattern, it don't matter what it is

{Chorus}
I'm gonna testify that I was right out of my mind
Let the record show I did it all for rock and roll
Screamin' every night, playing 25 to Life
So somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin
Out of San Quentin
Oh, just keep me out of San Quentin
Ooh, can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin?

edit bio

Nickelback is a Canadian rock band that rose to fame in the early 2000s with their catchy melodies and powerful rock sound. The band was formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta by lead guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair.

Originally starting out as a cover band called “The Village Idiots”, Nickelback eventually decided to change their name to something more unique. The name Nickelback was inspired by a phrase Mike Kroeger used to say when he worked at Starbucks, where he would give customers their change back by saying “Here’s your nickel back”.

Nickelback’s music quickly gained popularity, and the band became one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups of all time. With over 50 million albums sold worldwide, Nickelback is considered one of the best-selling music acts of the 2000s. In fact, they are the second best-selling foreign act in the United States, behind only The Beatles.

Billboard has ranked Nickelback as the top rock group of the decade, and their hit song “How You Remind Me” was listed as the top rock song of the 2000s. The band’s powerful sound and relatable lyrics have resonated with fans around the world, making them a staple in the rock music scene.

Nickelback continues to tour and release new music, solidifying their place as one of the most iconic rock bands of the modern era. Their unique blend of rock and pop influences has earned them a dedicated fanbase and cemented their status as rock music legends.
