Rock Star Dreams

Drowning your sorrows in a smoke filled bar

When your only dream is to be a rock star

As your guitar cries it's last few chords

Wish you had been blessed by the Lord

You walk the long and lonely road home

Sipping whisky while again all alone

Feeling that life has totally forsaken you

You long for a love that's tender and true

You play guitar till your fingers bleed

Just one hit song is all that you need

 Rock star dreams you pray will come true

 Almost see the road to fame lying in front of you

You had your aching heart so set on fame

But became just a pawn in the endless game

You lost the innocent years of your youth

And now you must face the undying truth

Dreamed of being on The Rolling Stone cover

Jet setting the world with your fantasy lover

You dream of mansions and rock and roll guitars

Wonder do you have what it takes to be a star

Now a rundown apartment is all you can afford

As you pray for forgiveness of our dear Lord

Unto your rock star dreams you've become a slave

Your dreams will never die till you're in the grave
