Lyrics

OLD ROCK STAR

VERSE
I guess I'm never gonna be a rock star.
When you're hair turns grey that's how things are.
What'll I do with my guitars.
Maybe they'll play me on NPR.

CHORUS
Nobody wants to hear an old guy’s song.
But I’m not ready to move along.
I’ve still got something else to say,
so sit your young-ass down.

VERSE
Oughta hang up these rock star dreams.
I’m getting too fat for skinny jeans.
My fans they say I’m not the same
since I traded my cocaine for Rogaine.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
(Yeah) I know there’s McCartney, Townsend and Jagger.
But they’ve been superstars for 50 years.
And when they go on tour they’ve got roadies and masseurs.
And they’re not sleeping on someone’s couch in Lima.

VERSE
When I’m up here on the stage
I never worry ‘bout my age.
‘Cause I can still sing like a bird.
Just can’t remember all the…words.

CHORUS
Nobody wants to hear an old guy’s song.
But I’m not ready to move along.
I’ve still got something else to say.
So sit your synthesizer-lovin’,
lo-fi Reggatone dub-steppin’
Instagramin’, multi-taskin’,
vaping, streaming, coffee-guzzlin’,
gender-fluid, chillin’, young-ass down.

Hey you kids, get off my lawn!
