Well I've been trying for ages And it looks like it's all in vain And if things don't start looking up pretty soon I'm going home.
Well the folks back home, they wonder where I've been And they're looking pretty good to me now So if you're thinking of bright lights and fame Stay at home.
For there's managers and booking agents Out for what they can get And each one says he's your friend But there's not one of them there but for what he can get out of it In the end.
So if you're thinking of going on the stage Put down your guitar, stay in school Take advantage of your age.
Take it from me, I've been there and I've come back. Don't be a star.
