Rock and Roll Star — текст песни (Reo Speedwagon)

Reo Speedwagon - Rock and Roll Star

I was just a boy when the river ran dry
And I can still remember my mama cry
She said Son leave as fast as you can
But don`t waste your life in this rock `n` roll band

I saw the light and left as fast as I could
I knew deep down it was gonna do me good
So I threw my Fender in an old friend`s car
I knew I`d come home a rock n`roll star

So we hit the road but the road hit back
We thought we`d take the world with a hit and run attack
Now I`m center stage but it feels bizarre
Despite new cars and caviar

An overnight success created by the press
But they`ll eat you up if you show them any stress
So I lick my wounds and I hide my scars
The whole world thinks I`m a rock n` roll star

Rock `n` roll star, rock `n` roll star
That`s what they call you
That`s not what you are
Rock `n` roll star, rock `n` roll star
I still wanna be a rock `n` roll star

So we got a break in our whirlwind tour
I called home said I`m comin home for sure
I`m tired of hurry up, make the plane, jump in the car
I`m home on loan, I`m a rock `n` roll star
