Chet wrote this song on this old piano at his studio in Tonganoxie, Kansas. It was recorded in LA up in Beverly Glen Canyon by Stephen Quinn Barncard who also acted as Executive Producer. Lots of fun at these sessions. We had a fun cast of characters and great session players.

Verse 1.
There were days I struck out so many times
I vowed I never wanna see a fast ball again
Still there was always one thing, one thing got me round
To take a couple extra swings
Chorus
And my days would begin with it – rock & roll
The middle was filled by it - rock & roll
I was put/used to go to sleep by it - rock & roll
I used to roll my own by it - rock & roll
My car strictly drove on it - rock & roll
But, now, now we only got the doughnut hole
Verse 2.
There were days I was stuck in the mud so many times
Spinning my wheels and going nowhere
Still there was always one thing, one thing got me out
And made me take them extra spins
Chorus
And my days would begin with it – rock & roll
The middle was filled by it - rock & roll
I was put/used to go to sleep by it - rock & roll
I used to roll my own by it - rock & roll
My car strictly drove on it - rock & roll
But, now, now we only got the doughnut hole
Verse 2.
People sometimes ask me “Hey Chester, how’d get so big”?
I tell them I was fed on a hybrid diet
My mother’s friend they shook their heads saying, “Frances don’t you try it”
Still, I always got my dose
Chorus
And my days would begin with it – rock & roll
The middle was filled by it - rock & roll
I was put/used to go to sleep by it - rock & roll
I used to roll my own by it - rock & roll
My car strictly drove on it - rock & roll
But, now, now we only got the doughnut hole
