We all tried to warn you-but you already knew So you blame it on jealousy-you say the rumors are untrue But you feel yourself slipping away You awoke from a dream-things were different than now You were gonna be a superstar-Elvis was teaching you how You met a man in a suit-he said "Sign on the line But you'll need a little something to help you unwind" You got to ride like Hell-your face into the wind One day you're everything-then you're nothing again We all know that the journey means more than where you wind up But they don't know what it's like to drink from your cup Still they got something to say You met a girl on the highway-she made you feel like a man But somewhere along the way-your poor heart just caved in So you smoke a little that and you drink a little this And soon you can't separate the misery from the bliss (CHORUS) Anyone can be blinded-caught up in the lust But we all must go back-back to our own dust Back to yesterday One cold night in the sixties-in a small town serene A young boy sits and stares at a black and white screen He's caught up in the rhythm,the words,and the sound And it feels just like a ticket out of this town (CHORUS x2)
