“Good Lord! Stop that noise!” “Well I have to practice!” “Why in the world would anybody want to be in rock n roll?” “Oh Honey, she says it’s her dream, it’s her passion!” “Ha-ha, that’s passion? Give me a break!” “Well, I’m gonna be in rock n roll, whether you two like it or not!” “I’ll show them!” Rockstar Rockstar After school I know the rules do my chores in a hurry My radio, my records wait inside my sanctuary A teenage dreamer dreaming one day I could be a star I close my door, turn on my amp and plug in my guitar I’m a Rockstar They say if you can dream it You can have it so I play Rockstar I stand before my mirror Play and sing and dream, someday I’ll be standing in the lights selling shows out every night Have ‘em dancing in the aisles I’ll be famous I’ll be a rockstar Stop that God awful music Momma’s yelling from the kitchen Me, I smell success along with mama’s fryin’ chicken Dad storms in my room Unplugs my amp and starts his bitchin’ But to their sorrow I’ll just do the same dang thing tomorrow I’m a Rockstar They say if you can dream it You can have it so I play Rockstar I stand before my mirror Play and sing and dream, someday I’ll be standing in the lights selling shows out every night Have ‘em dancing in the aisles I’ll be famous I’ll be a rockstar “Squalling at the top of your lungs and twangin’ on that old damned guitar, It aint gonna get you nowhere!” “Well, I think it will!” “Honey, you need to get out of this house, make some friends, do something ordinary!” “Well, I don’t want to be ordinary!” Don’t you ever give up on your dreams No matter how far-fetched they seem They may not be all that extreme I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed I dreamed I was a rockstar They say if you can dream it You can have it so just play Rockstar Stand before your mirror Play and sing and dream away That you’ll be standing in the lights Selling shows out every night Have ‘em dancing in the aisle You’ll be famous You’ll be a rockstar They say if you can dream it You can have it so I play Rockstar I’m standing on the stage now and I thank God every day My folks dancin' in the aisle Screaming out “Hey, that’s our child” Jerry Reed would say “Yeah, right!” Now they claim me They always thought I’d be a Rockstar Yeah, right I’m gonna be yeah, I’m gonna be, yeah I’m gonna be a rockstar I’m gonna be yeah, I’m gonna be, yeah I’m gonna be a, I’m gonna be a rockstar
