You, you used to rock me
|
In your acid-wash jeans in 1983
|
You, with your big hair
|
Girls would throw you their underwear
|
I was only old enough to stare
|
And wish you were mine
|
|
Well, you (you) were my rock 'n' roll dream
|
Staring back at me from every magazine
|
I was in love with your hair spray
|
Your spandex and rebel ways!
|
I just couldn't wait to see you play
|
But just look at you today
|
|
[Chorus]
|
My 80's rock star
|
They wonder where you are
|
Wish you were here with me
|
Instead of on the streets
|
My 80's rock star
|
They thought you'd go real far
|
My 80's rock star
|
|
Oh, you (you) you'd made & lost your fortune
|
By the time your second album came and fell
|
Spent it all on your fast drugs, your fast girls, your fast cars
|
When the 90's came, you sold your last guitar
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
They thought you'd go real far
|
But you're washed out, and you're lonely, and you're tired
|
And there's not much left to you to admire
|
And you gave the world everything you had
|
And were left with nothing, now how about that?
|
|
My 80's rock star
|
They wonder where you are
|
Well now you're here with me
|
Instead of on the streets
|
My 80's rock star
|
They thought you'd go real far
|
My 80's rock star
|
They wonder where you are
|
Well now you're here with me
|
Instead of on the streets
|
My 80's rock star
|
They thought you'd go real far
|
|
Yeah!
