“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

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
