Rehab - #1 by Rehab lyrics

All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one We all wanna be number one When I said goodbye she had a tear in her eye I'm like mamma don't cry your little boy gotta fly They say up in N.Y That's where it's goin' down And I'ma have a million dollars When I get back in town She said, "You're just goin' through a phase Can't this be a hobby?" I said, "My friends say I'm dope, even Charlie and Robbie." We said our goodbyes and I boarded the plane I was lookin' out the window at the wings As it rained We taxied to the runway I could hear the engines howlin' Threw a prayer up in the air Felt the wheels leave the ground The buildings and the cars and the towns Were small as ants I was destined for the unknown Just lookin' for a chance All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one We all wanna be number one Landed at LaGuardia I grabbed my bags and stepped Into the cold, the snow was falling I lit a cigarette There was a million yellow taxis Everybody seemed upset A rugged voice from behind me Asked me, "Where you tryin' to get?" I said, "The closest motel But no tellin tomorrow." Said, "You must be from Atlanta" I said, "Georgia, how did you know?" "I could tell by your accent That you were from the South." Threw my luggage in the truck and said "Get in," and we pulled out Into the sirens and the honkin' horns The hustle and the bustle And the traffic and that's when he said "Welcome to the jungle." I looked up at all the buildings until we got to the Mo- Before I left he said," Hope you find What you're lookin' for." All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one We all wanna be number one Then a 19 yr old kid In a motel room in New York Dug his cellie out his pocket Called his parents to report He was alive and doin well and doin fine When he got off the phone He sat down on the corner of the bed All alone With the TV on the volume muted Grabbed his pen and pad And jotted down ideas about some things That he wanted so bad That he would risk it all to get 'em And it wasn't very long He was asleep and right beside him Lay the lyrics to a song called All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one We all wanna be number one All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one All I ever wanted Was to be excited About right now- We all wanna be number one We all wanna be number one --- .
