Star

This is the last time

I swear I'm giving up

There's only so much that a man can take

These disappointments,

Could-should-a-mighta been's

I'm setting myself up for heartbreak

But the heart don't listen

To words of wisdom

I could never get myself to understand

I should be happy but I'm not

Satisfied with all I got

I've got more than any man should ever wish for

I've got two kids in their beds

With a roof over their heads

And a woman sleeping soundly right beside me

But my head still swimming with boyhood visions

I'm standing on a stage with my guitar

And I'm a star

I say maybe just once more,

Before they close the door

And tell me I'm too old or uncool

Maybe I got something

Special here brewing

Write what you know, ain't that the truth boy?

I should be happy but I'm not

Satisfied with all I got

I've got more than any man should ever wish for

I've got two kids in their beds

With a roof over their heads

And a woman sleeping soundly right beside me

But my head still swimming with boyhood visions

I'm standing on a stage with my guitar

And I'm a star

And my head still skipping over lessons I've been living

I ain't learned a single thing in all these years

And as the years roll by

Seems like I'm running out of time

But if I give up I'm afraid I'll disappear

I should be happy but I'm not

Satisfied with all I got

I've got more than any man should ever wish for

I've got two kids in their beds

With a roof over their heads

And a woman sleeping soundly lying next to me

This is all that's in the plan

Still got my three biggest fans

And when I play them my new song with my guitar

Then I'm a star

Maybe just once more
