Reo Speedwagon - Rock & Roll Star Lyrics
I was just a boy when the river ran dryAnd I can still remember my mama cryShe said son leave as fast as you canBut dont waste your life in this rock n roll bandI saw the light and left as fast as I couldI knew deep down it was gonna do me goodSo I threw my fender in an old friends carI knew Id come home a rock nroll starSo we hit the road but the road hit backWe thought wed take the world with a hit and run attackNow Im center stage but it feels bizarreDespite new cars and caviarAn overnight success created by the pressBut theyll eat you up if you show them any stressSo I lick my wounds and I hide my scarsThe whole world thinks Im a rock n roll starRock n roll star, rock n roll starThats what they call youThats not what you areRock n roll star, rock n roll starI still wanna be a rock n roll starSo we got a break in our whirlwind tourI called home said Im comin home for sureIm tired of hurry up, make the plane, jump in the carIm home on loan, Im a rock n roll star
