"Almost Famous" lyrics

My old best friends got new best friends
'Cause I'm on the road every weekend
They work good jobs from nine to five
They've got a better way than me to spend their time

I went to school to be a businessman
But that ended up as the backup plan
I'm running on fumes and my dumb luck
I've lived a thousand lives until one just stuck

And now some might say
That I've made some bad decisions
That I went and threw away
A life I'll wish I didn't
I've got a college degree
That I'm just wasting
I skipped all that I could be
Just to be almost famous

And I gave up a girl like Penny Lane
Who loved me for me and not the songs I sing
I traded her away for a big, bad band
To tour the West Coast in a minivan

And now some might say
That I've made some bad decisions
That I went and threw away
A life I'll wish I didn't
I've got a college degree
That I'm just wasting
I skipped all that I could be
Just to be almost famous

Now some might say
That I've made some bad decisions
That I went and threw away
A life I'll wish I didn't
I've got a college degree
That I'm just wasting
I skipped all that I could be
Just to be almost famous
