80's Rock Star

You, you used to rock me

In your acid-wash jeans in 1983

You, with your big hair

Girls would throw you their underwear

I was only old enough to stare

And wish you were mine

Well, you (you) were my rock 'n' roll dream

Staring back at me from every magazine

I was in love with your hair spray

Your spandex and rebel ways!

I just couldn't wait to see you play

But just look at you today

[Chorus]

My 80's rock star

They wonder where you are

Wish you were here with me

Instead of on the streets

My 80's rock star

They thought you'd go real far

My 80's rock star

Oh, you (you) you'd made & lost your fortune

By the time your second album came and fell

Spent it all on your fast drugs, your fast girls, your fast cars

When the 90's came, you sold your last guitar

[Chorus]

They thought you'd go real far

But you're washed out, and you're lonely, and you're tired

And there's not much left to you to admire

And you gave the world everything you had

And were left with nothing, now how about that?

My 80's rock star

They wonder where you are

Well now you're here with me

Instead of on the streets

My 80's rock star

They thought you'd go real far

My 80's rock star

They wonder where you are

Well now you're here with me

Instead of on the streets

My 80's rock star

They thought you'd go real far

Yeah!
