Country Rock Star

When I grow up, I wanna play guitar.

Sing my songs, and go real far.

I wanna be a country rock star.

I grew up with the radio on,

It was AM/FM all day long.

With hopes and dreams that I would be,

Singing my songs on MTV.

I liked Guns 'n Roses, Johnny Cash,

John Cougar Mellencamp, the Knack.

Singing oh My-Ma-Ma-Ma-My Sharona,

I “Hurt So Good” in a “Ring of Fire.”

“American Pie,” “I Will Survive,”

The Bee Gees sang, I was “Stayin' Alive.”

I was singing that song on the radio,

Rock on!

Had my blue suede shoes on,

Developing a little lockjaw, yee-haw!

Doing the Michael J moonwalk just for fun,

“Boot Scootin' Boogie” with Brooks and Dunn.

I was singing in the shower,

I was singing in the rain.

I was singing on the way to work in my car,

I wanna be a country rock star.

Singing Air Supply, playing air guitar,

I was up onstage at a karaoke bar.

Coincidental I was feeling sentimental,

Got a little goose-bumps

From an instrumental.

Springsteen sang the “Glory Days,”

I was born in the USA.

I was singing that song on the radio,

Rock on!

Had my blue suede shoes on,

Developing a little lockjaw, yee-haw!

Doing the Michael J moonwalk just for fun,

“Boot Scootin' Boogie” with Brooks and Dunn.

I was singing in the shower,

I was singing in the rain.

I was singing on the way to work in my car,

I wanna be a country rock star.

You got to put your mind to it,

Got to be the best; don't settle for less.

Don't sell yourself short; don't be afraid.

You never know; it's a chance to take.
