"When I grow up, I want to play guitar.
Sing my songs, and go real far.
I want to be a country rock star.
I grew up with the radio on,
It was AM/FM all day long.
With hopes and dreams that I would be,
Singing my songs on MTV.
I liked Guns 'n Roses, Johnny Cash,
John Cougar Mellencamp, the Knack.
Singing oh My-My-My-My-My Sharona,
I “Hurt So Good” in a “Ring of Fire.”
“American Pie,” “I Will Survive,”
The Bee Gees sang, I was “Stayin' Alive.”
I was singing that song on the radio,
Rock on!
Had my blue suede shoes on,
Developing a little lockjaw, yee-haw!
Doing the Michael J moonwalk just for fun,
“Boot Scootin' Boogie” with Brooks and Dunn.
I was singing in the shower,
I was singing in the rain.
I was singing on the way to work in my car,
I want to be a country rock star.
Singing Air Supply, playing air guitar,
I was up on stage at a karaoke bar.
Coincidental I was feeling sentimental,
Got a little goose-bumps
From an instrumental.
Springsteen sang the “Glory Days,”
I was born in the USA.
I was singing that song on the radio,
Rock on!
Had my blue suede shoes on,
Developing a little lockjaw, yee-haw!
Doing the Michael J moonwalk just for fun,
“Boot Scootin' Boogie” with Brooks and Dunn.
I was singing in the shower,
I was singing in the rain.
I was singing on the way to work in my car,
I want to be a country rock star.
You got to put your mind to it,
Got to be the best; don't settle for less.
Don't sell yourself short; don't be afraid.
You never know; it's a chance to take.
I was singing that song on the radio,
Rock on!
Had my blue suede shoes on,
Developing a little lockjaw, yee-haw!

I was singing in the rain.
I was singing on the way to work in my car,
I want to be a country rock star.
I want to be a country rock star…
Country rock star...[To Fade]
