Rock 'N 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
