Chester wrote this song, and many others, on this old piano at his studio in Tonganoxie, Kansas. He bought it for $50.00 and had a few buddies with a pick-up truck help him drive to the farm, then carry it up the thill and into the house. It being an upright grand made it a joy to move! Then he totally refurbished it, a skill he learned from his mother. This song has a fun vein of "baseball vibes" bouncing around the notes back and forth over the "black-and whites".  Lots of fun!

Lots of fun at these session in LA, CA. 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
