"Rockstar Life" lyrics

"Rockstar Life"

Hey, hey there's a divorcee
Lyin' in my bed
What's done is done
She's lightin' her up a sunrise cigarette

Wo-oah, got a ways to go
Before I get back to Tennessee
Grab my shirt and my boots
And the guilt and the truth
Off the floor of this hotel suite

Off the floor of this hotel suite

I never made a deal with the man downstairs
But sometimes it feels like I did
Burnin' down Mom and them's
Late night prayers
Cause out here everyday is
Leave the truck, ride the bus
Take a pill, pay the bills
Sing a song til I run out of voice
Startin' to think that this rockstar life
Wasn't made for a country boy

Hey, hey a bump of cocaine
To jump start the soberin' down
When I was 22, thought this would be cool
But it's just a lonely go-round
Woa-oah the band's gotta go
From Frisco to Hollywood
But that city of them couldn't fence me in
Like a sweet southern angel could

Like a sweet southern angel could

I never made a deal with the man downstairs
But sometimes it feels like I did
Burnin' down Mom and them's
Late night prayers
Cause out here everyday is
Leave the truck, ride the bus
Take a pill, pay the bills
Sing a song til I run out of voice
Startin' to think that this rockstar life
Wasn't made for a country boy, Hey!

Hey, hey there's a divorcee
Lyin' in my bed
What's done is done
I'm lightin' me up a sunrise cigarette

I never made a deal with the man downstairs
But sometimes it feels like I did
Burnin' down Mom and them's
Late night prayers
Cause out here everyday is
Leave the truck, ride the bus
Take a pill, pay the bills
Sing a song til I run out of voice
Startin' to think that this rockstar life
Wasn't made for a country boy

It wasn't made for a country boy
