Lyrics

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 (rockstar) They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play Hear me play Rockstar (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," Mama'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 (rockstar) They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play, I play Rockstar (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 Oh Oh-oh Oh Squalling at the top of your lungs and twangin' on that old damned guitar It ain't gon' get you nowhere Honey, you need to get out of this house, make some friends, do something ordinary Well, I don't wanna be ordinary I wanna be a (rockstar) rockstar Don't you ever give up on your dreams No matter how far-fetched they seem They may not be all that extreme And I dreamed (I dreamed), I dreamed (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 (rockstar) Stand before your mirror, play and sing and dream away If 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 (rockstar) They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play Oh, yeah-yeah Rockstar (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 (Rockstar) Rockstar (Rockstar) Rockstar (Rockstar) I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be a rockstar (Rockstar) I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be a-, I'm gonna be a rockstar
