When I was young
I used to dream of being a star
All the crazy women loved that rock and roll
I didn't think about
school or anything else
All I wanted was to play my music
My daddy told me better
grow up and get a job
Don't you know,
you gotta make a living
It's time to be a man
and leave those dreams behind
Yeah boy, you gotta walk that line
Cause I don't wanna grow up like he did
I realize my life has passed me by
Wishing I could do it all over
again
An d I don't care that
much about money
As long as I've got a roof over my head
All I want to do is make music
with my friends
On the road, we're not living it up
No champagne parties at the show
Going back to my room and sleeping alone
Got another long day tomorrow
People ask me if I'd do
it all over again
Would I ever change anything?
I try to tell them that I never
really had a chance
It was already in my blood
If I should die tonight
Drive right on this stage,
a smile would grace my face
I don't regret one thing
I'm happy where I am,
with this guitar in my hand
