I Will Rock and Roll with You

"I Will Rock and Roll with You" is a song written and originally recorded by Johnny Cash for his 1978 album Gone Girl.

Cash wrote two songs for the album, one of them being "I Will Rock and Roll with You," a rockedup retelling of his Memphis origins, featuring one of the best lead-guitar breaks to appear on a Johnny Cash tune since Carl Perkins left the group in 1973.

There are two songs written by Cash on his album, Gone Girl: "It Comes and Goes" and "I Will Rock and Roll with You." Both seem to look back at his Memphis roots while examining his life with June.
