If I Were Rock & Roll Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I were a NASCAR man goin' 'round and 'round
Yeah, you know I'd be number three
If I were the best damn football in the south
I'd be the SEC
And if I were a Velcro stitched-up stars and stripes
You can bet I'd be flyin' proud
Pressed on the chest of America's best
Puttin' bad dudes in the ground
[Chorus]
And if I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you
[Verse 2]
If I were a granddaddy rockin' on a rockin' chair
I'd have a grandson on my lap
If I were a first time there, front porch stare
I'd pray she kissed me back
And if I were a rebel kid meetin' with the man
Hearin' "Johnny Can't Do That"
With this guitar strapped, I'd go all black
Tell 'em all to kiss my—
If I were a NASCAR man goin' 'round and 'round
Yeah, you know I'd be number three
If I were the best damn football in the south
I'd be the SEC
And if I were a Velcro stitched-up stars and stripes
You can bet I'd be flyin' proud
Pressed on the chest of America's best
Puttin' bad dudes in the ground
[Chorus]
And if I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you
[Verse 2]
If I were a granddaddy rockin' on a rockin' chair
I'd have a grandson on my lap
If I were a first time there, front porch stare
I'd pray she kissed me back
And if I were a rebel kid meetin' with the man
Hearin' "Johnny Can't Do That"
With this guitar strapped, I'd go all black
Tell 'em all to kiss my—
[Chorus]
If I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'd still be with you
[Bridge]
If I were a smart man
I wouldn't just write you a song
Straight from the heart and
And pray you turned it on
No, I'd step it up and I'd mean it
When I look into your eyes
And I'd be on my way to Baton Rouge
And I'd be holdin' you tonight
[Chorus]
And if I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you
If I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'd still be with you
[Bridge]
If I were a smart man
I wouldn't just write you a song
Straight from the heart and
And pray you turned it on
No, I'd step it up and I'd mean it
When I look into your eyes
And I'd be on my way to Baton Rouge
And I'd be holdin' you tonight
[Chorus]
And if I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you
[Outro]
Yeah, I'd still be with you
Oh, I'd still be, oh, I'd still be with you
Yeah, I'd still be with you
Oh, I'd still be with you
Yeah, I'd still be with you
Oh, I'd still be, oh, I'd still be with you
Yeah, I'd still be with you
Oh, I'd still be with you

What did Chase Rice say about "If I Were Rock & Roll"?
Genius Answer
From Earnhardt to my military buddies, to Johnny Cash, to my grandpa … these are all people and memories who have shaped the man I am. It’s a very personal, real song to me, and yet how the song ends, with the one that got away, makes it one that I think a lot of people will relate to.
