We all tried to warn you-but you already knew

So you blame it on jealousy-you say the rumors are untrue

But you feel yourself slipping away


You awoke from a dream-things were different than now

You were gonna be a superstar-Elvis was teaching you how


You met a man in a suit-he said "Sign on the line

But you'll need a little something to help you unwind"


You got to ride like Hell-your face into the wind

One day you're everything-then you're nothing again


We all know that the journey means more than where you wind up

But they don't know what it's like to drink from your cup

Still they got something to say


You met a girl on the highway-she made you feel like a man

But somewhere along the way-your poor heart just caved in


So you smoke a little that and you drink a little this

And soon you can't separate the misery from the bliss


(CHORUS)


Anyone can be blinded-caught up in the lust

But we all must go back-back to our own dust

Back to yesterday


One cold night in the sixties-in a small town serene

A young boy sits and stares at a black and white screen


He's caught up in the rhythm,the words,and the sound

And it feels just like a ticket out of this town


(CHORUS x2)
