Star Songtext
This is the last time
I swear I′m giving up
There's only so much that a man can take
These disappointments,
Could-should-a-mighta been′s
I'm setting myself up for heartbreak
But the heart don't listen
To words of wisdom
I could never get myself to understand
I should be happy but I′m not
Satisfied with all I got
I′ve got more than any man should ever wish for
I've got two kids in their beds
With a roof over their heads
And a woman sleeping soundly right beside me
But my head still swimming with boyhood visions
I′m standing on a stage with my guitar
And I'm a star
I say maybe just once more,
Before they close the door
And tell me I′m too old or uncool
Maybe I got something
Special here brewing
Write what you know, ain't that the truth boy?
I should be happy but I′m not
Satisfied with all I got
I've got more than any man should ever wish for
I've got two kids in their beds
With a roof over their heads
And a woman sleeping soundly right beside me
But my head still swimming with boyhood visions
I′m standing on a stage with my guitar
And I′m a star
And my head still skipping over lessons I've been living
I ain′t learned a single thing in all these years
And as the years roll by
Seems like I'm running out of time
But if I give up I′m afraid I'll disappear
I should be happy but I′m not
Satisfied with all I got
I've got more than any man should ever wish for
I've got two kids in their beds
With a roof over their heads
And a woman sleeping soundly lying next to me
This is all that′s in the plan
Still got my three biggest fans
And when I play them my new song with my guitar
Then I′m a star
Maybe just once more
I swear I′m giving up
There's only so much that a man can take
These disappointments,
Could-should-a-mighta been′s
I'm setting myself up for heartbreak
But the heart don't listen
To words of wisdom
I could never get myself to understand
I should be happy but I′m not
Satisfied with all I got
I′ve got more than any man should ever wish for
I've got two kids in their beds
With a roof over their heads
And a woman sleeping soundly right beside me
But my head still swimming with boyhood visions
I′m standing on a stage with my guitar
And I'm a star
I say maybe just once more,
Before they close the door
And tell me I′m too old or uncool
Maybe I got something
Special here brewing
Write what you know, ain't that the truth boy?
I should be happy but I′m not
Satisfied with all I got
I've got more than any man should ever wish for
I've got two kids in their beds
With a roof over their heads
And a woman sleeping soundly right beside me
But my head still swimming with boyhood visions
I′m standing on a stage with my guitar
And I′m a star
And my head still skipping over lessons I've been living
I ain′t learned a single thing in all these years
And as the years roll by
Seems like I'm running out of time
But if I give up I′m afraid I'll disappear
I should be happy but I′m not
Satisfied with all I got
I've got more than any man should ever wish for
I've got two kids in their beds
With a roof over their heads
And a woman sleeping soundly lying next to me
This is all that′s in the plan
Still got my three biggest fans
And when I play them my new song with my guitar
Then I′m a star
Maybe just once more
