Lyrics

Rock N' Roll Hero

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

By the light of a desk lamp,

I sat with my paper and crayons

Trying to draw the things I saw in my head

And by the sound of the crickets

Through windows of darkness

I'd try to fit the moon in my mouth

Sometimes when I'm alone

And out of view of my own

I pretend I'm someone else

Taking a look at myself

I wonder whatI'll think then

And I hope I'll be O.K.

And I finally reach the day

When everybody sings my song...

When everybody sings my song...

When I'll show you my soul...

By the skin of my teeth

I got a break around seventeen

Suddenly everyone is acting so differently to me

And by the bus I call my home

I've seen more miles than I'll ever know

Trying to be some kind of rock n' roll hero

Sometimes when I'm alone

And out of view of my own

I pretend I'm someone else

Taking a look at myself

And I know I'm still thinking

And I know I feel O.K.

Now that I've reached the day...

And everybody's singin' my song...

And everybody's singin' my song...

And I show you my soul...

By the clock I live,

Thought I had so much more to give

It all came to an end somehow

But I made it the best I can

Even became a family man

Nothing but gold records on my wall

Sometimes when I'm alone

And out of view of my ow n

I pretend I'm someone else

Take a look back at myself

And I wonder what I was thinking

And although it turned out O.K.

I will always miss the day...

When everybody sang my song...

When everybody sang my song...

When I showed you my soul...
