This is how its gonna be
This is how its gonna be

You had a gold guitar
And thought that you could be a star
And everyone around the school
Was sure you would get to far
You met a dancing dancer
That came to every gig ya hit
You gave her all your love
And in the closet girl ya went

And i know that this is how the story goes
This is how its gonna be

She was a dancing dancer
That came to all the songs ya sang
But dancing to the mix
Was never gonna get her paid
She took the classes
So that she could teach the masses
About the history of losers
Why the poser got his ass kicked

And i know that this is how the story goes
This is how its gonna stay
This is how its always gonna be
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star

You had a gold guitar
And that you could be a star
But now ya got two kids
You wore these glasses and the girl the car
So ya hit the suit the tie to work
To make it right
But now the dancer screams
That you were never home at night

And i know that this is how the story goes
This is how its gonna stay
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
This is how its always gonna be
For you and me

I was a king with a six string
That really made her sing
She kept swinging her g-string
And really shake her thing man
Together we came
But never the same
She believed in my dreams
And i respected her game
This past roller coaster
Such a fast roller coaster
Still pushing demos
While she pushes the stroller
Songs about love that were broken in names
But when the rents due
She said they all sound the same
She aint to blame
When she works all day long
While at home gettin high
Tryin to write me a song
Way the mouths move man
The third got still
Got an ad in the paper
Got a six string to sell for real

This is how its always gonna be
This is how its always gonna be
This is how its always gonna be
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
This is how its always gonna be
You had yourself a gold guitar
Thought that you could be a star
This is how its always gonna be
