Nick Gravenites - Didn't You Used To Be Somebody lyrics

Hey, didn't you used to be somebody? Hey, didn't you used to be somebody? I was a singer in a rock n' roll band We was heavy, we was out of hand Rockin' the day on the coast to coast tour The people were hungy, they needed more I was the guy singing with that heavyweight chick She was twice fast, twice as quick She could lay a rock on any blues change And take your mind and rearrange it But things, oh don't always happen The way you want them to Still you have your dream But sometimes, the darkness comes pushin' through Oh, she died all alone down in a motel room Down in Hollywood Oh, I don't how other people took it But I'm still cryin', yeah, today Hey, didn't you used to be somebody? Hey, didn't you used to be somebody? And when she died, it was a terrible scene The fans deserted, the critics got mean Couldn't find a job, Lord, couldn't find a friend I'm down here spirlin', Lord, off the deep end I started drinkin', yes, and wound up on the skids My memory's faded like I never lived I keep bummin' for change, people look right past me And once in a while, some little kid would ask me Hey, didn't you used to be somebody? Hey, didn't you used to be somebody? I was somebody, I was somebody Hey, didn't you used to be somebody? I used to be somebody, I used to be somebody Hey, didn't you used to be somebody?
