This life is not what you thought it’d be now
You thought you’d be something big by now

Stuck at some rinky dink cafe in L.A.

Waiting for a record deal to come to your way

 

We all wanna be hot shot rockstars 

And rock out on our Fender Stratocaster guitars

Pretend we’re so cool with our made up names

We all chase fortune and fame

 

Your house will be what they call a mansion

Dress so hot in the latest fashion

You’ll sign a few autographs then go back

To your life of luxury when you sign that deal, that’s that

 

We all wanna be hot shot rockstars 

And rock out on our Fender Stratocaster guitars

Pretend we’re so cool with our made up names

We all chase fortune and fame

 

Ride to the Grammy’s in a limousine

And be on the cover of a magazine

Pretend we’re so cool with our made up names

We all chase fortune and fame

 

Lindsay Lohan, Demi Moore, Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen

Macauley Culkin, Amy Winehouse, Randy Travis, Michael Jackson

Marilyn Monroe, Brittany and Jamie Lynn

Miley Cyrus, Whitney Houston

Traveled a long way to find my way back home
Roads blocked with obstacles like sticks and stones

Stop signs and traffic lights blinded the way I see

The home I once knew was not left in me

 

There’s mountains to climb and dirt roads to travel

Oceans to sail and ties to unravel

There’s rivers to cross and valleys to roam

But it’s a one way road back home

 

Lost along the road, no maps to guide your way

Stuck in the prairies in the middle of the day

But day turns into night, you’re lost and all alone

Nothing to turn to except that broken road

There’s mountains to climb and dirt roads to travel
Oceans to sail and ties to unravel

There’s rivers to cross and valleys to roam

But it’s a one way road back home

 

No matter how far you stray

You’ll always end up back in the same old place

If there’s one path you’ll always know

It’s that one way road back home

 

There’s mountains to climb and dirt roads to travel
Oceans to sail and ties to unravel

There’s rivers to cross and valleys to roam

But it’s a one way road back home
(repeat)

You keep your options open in case things come to end
You look at other girls with their cute sunglasses and trends

You know I see it in you but ignore it everyday

Someday I’ll show the evil behind your pretty face

You question all these thoughts but I’ll tell you yet again

You act like your so perfect but you’re heading for dead ends

Gonna end up alone, no friends nowhere to go 

By then you’ve sent them running to a place nobody knows

 

You’re a dirty, rotten, no good, lying, cheating, stealing, jerk of a guy

You’re a crazy, nothing, no good, whining, going nowhere, think your so sly

Thought you’d never lose

but I’ll decide who

Will say goodbye 

to you wide-eyed little sly guy

 

You’ll walk away laughing and forget all about me

You’ll look at other girls and find the one that fits your needs

But the one your looking at, she will soon leave you alone

You’ll come crawling back to me, and what I’ll say is “no”

When you come wanting me and you’re begging on your knees

Mark my words, I won’t look back, not for you or her, you’ll see

Cause I won’t forgive you, for all you put me through

Cause I’m not like those other girls, I’m way too good for you

 

You’re a dirty, rotten, no good, lying, cheating, stealing, jerk of a guy

You’re a crazy, nothing, no good, whining, going nowhere, think your so sly

Thought you’d never lose

but I’ll decide who

Will say goodbye 

to you wide-eyed little sly guy

One day it’ll get you, what goes around comes back around

Don’t treat girls the way you do, it’ll bring you down

I won’t save you, I don’t rescue, it's gonna catch you

 

You’re a dirty, rotten, no good, lying, cheating, stealing, jerk of a guy
You’re a crazy, nothing, no good, whining, going nowhere, think your so sly

Thought you’d never lose

but I’ll decide who

Will say goodbye 

To you dirty, rotten, no good, lying, cheating, stealing, jerk of a guy

You’re a crazy, nothing, no good, whining, going nowhere, think your so sly

Thought you’d never lose

but I’ll decide who

Will say goodbye 

to you wide-eyed little sly guy

Met you on Fourth of May, I remember

Bright blue skies, a perfect day, I remember

At eight years old, your heart was gold

I knew I’d hold your hand

I remember

 

I remember

Our little kid fun

Singing that Beatles song “Here Comes the Sun”

And I know our love is made up of these songs

As long as they play on and on

We’ll keep writing letters

I remember

 

Your daddy’s tie and dressed up shoes, I remember

Heels that hurt and my dress brand new, I remember

At seventeen, you looked at me

And like a dream, we danced

I remember

 

I remember 

Dancing in the rain 

To James Taylor, Sing me "Sweet Baby James”

And I know our love is made up of these songs

As long as they play on and on

We’ll keep writing letters

I remember

 

Those letters that we once wrote, do you remember?

Sometimes left me post-it notes, don’t you remember?

Yesterday, found one I’d saved 

And your words made me smile 

And it said

 

I remember 

When we said our vows 

Like that Taylor song when the preacher said “speak now”

And I know our love is made up of these songs

As long as they play on and on

I’ll remember

When we walked down the aisle

 

Played a song or two and then we said I do

And I know our love is made up of these songs

And they keep playing on and on

We’ll always write those letters

I remember

Do you remember

‘Cause I remember

I’ll love you forever more

Just like the Beatles said, even “when we’re sixty four”
