80 S Rock Star lyrics

You, you used to rock me
In your acid-wash jeans in 1983
You, with your big hair
Girls would throw you their underwear
I was only old enough to stare
And wish you were mine

Well, you (you) were my rock `n` roll dream
Staring back at me from every magazine
I was in love with your hair spray
Your spandex and rebel ways!
I just couldn`t wait to see you play
But just look at you today

[Chorus]
My 80`s rock star
They wonder where you are
Wish you were here with me
Instead of on the streets
My 80`s rock star
They thought you`d go real far
My 80`s rock star

Oh, you (you) you`d made & lost your fortune
By the time your second album came and fell
Spent it all on your fast drugs, your fast girls, your fast cars
When the 90`s came, you sold your last guitar

[Chorus]

They thought you`d go real far
But you`re washed out, and you`re lonely, and you`re tired
And there`s not much left to you to admire
And you gave the world everything you had
And were left with nothing, now how about that?

My 80`s rock star
They wonder where you are
Well now you`re here with me
Instead of on the streets
My 80`s rock star
They thought you`d go real far
My 80`s rock star
They wonder where you are
Well now you`re here with me
Instead of on the streets
My 80`s rock star
They thought you`d go real far

Yeah!
