[Intro]

Good, Lord, stop that noise

Well, I have to practice

Why in the world would anybody want to be in rock 'n' roll?

Oh honey, she says it's her dream, it's her passion

Ha-ha, that's passion? Give me a break

Well, I'm gonna be in rock 'n' roll, whether you two like it or not

I'll show them

Rockstar

Rockstar

[Verse 1]

After school, I know the rules, do my chores in a hurry

My radio, my records wait inside my sanctuary

A teenage dreamer, dreaming one day I could be a star

I close my door, turn on my amp, and plug in my guitar

[Chorus]

I'm a rockstar (Rockstar)

They say if you can dream it, you can have it, so I play

Hear me play

Rockstar (Rockstar)

I stand before my mirror, play and sing and dream, someday

I'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night

Have 'em dancing in the aisles, I'll be famous

I'll be a rockstar

[Verse 2]

"Stop that god-awful music," Mama's yelling from the kitchen

Me, I smell success along with Mama's fryin' chicken

Dad storms in my room, unplugs my amp, and starts his bitchin'

But to their sorrow, I'll just do the same dang thing tomorrow

[Chorus]

I'm a rockstar (Rockstar)

They say if you can dream it, you can have it, so I play

I play

Rockstar (Rockstar)

I stand before my mirror, play and sing and dream, someday

I'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night

Have 'em dancing in the aisles, I'll be famous

I'll be a rockstar

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh

Oh-ooh

Ooh

[Interlude]

Squalling at the top of your lungs

And twangin' on that old damned guitar

It ain't gon' get you nowhere

Honey, you need to get out of this house

Make some friends, do something ordinary

Well, I don't wanna be ordinary

I wanna be a (Rockstar) rockstar

[Bridge]

Don't you ever give up on your dreams

No matter how far-fetched they seem

They may not be all that extreme

And I dreamed (I dreamed), I dreamed (I dreamed), I dreamed (I dreamed)

I dreamed I was a rockstar

[Chorus]

They say if you can dream it, you can have it, so just play

Rockstar (Rockstar)

Stand before your mirror, play and sing and dream away

That you'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night

Have 'em dancing in the aisle, you'll be famous

You'll be a rockstar (Rockstar)

They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play

Oh, yeah-yeah

Rockstar (Rockstar)

I'm standing on the stage now and I thank God every day

My folks dancin' in the aisle, screaming out, "Hey, that's our child"

Jerry Reed would say, "Yeah, right," now they claim me

They always thought I'd be a rockstar

[Outro]

(Rockstar) Rockstar

(Rockstar) Rockstar

(Rockstar) I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be a rockstar

(Rockstar) I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be a, I'm gonna be a rockstar
