Rock'n' Roll Star Lyrics - Reo Speedwagon

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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
