(Bachman/Cummings)
Well I`ve been trying for ages
And it looks like it`s all in vain
And if things don`t start looking up pretty soon
I`m going home.
Well the folks back home, they wonder where I`ve been
And they`re looking pretty good to me now
So if you`re thinking of bright lights and fame
Stay at home.
For there`s managers and booking agents
Out for what they can get
And each one says he`s your friend
But there`s not one of them there but for what he can get out of it
In the end.
So if you`re thinking of going on the stage
Put down your guitar, stay in school
Take advantage of your age.
Take it from me, I`ve been there and I`ve come back.
Don`t be a star.
