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!
