| Tomorrow you'll be on your way
|
| Could be Memphis or L.A
|
| No questions just get out and play
|
| Wake up call to catch the plane
|
| You know you're on the road again
|
| Someone's bangin' in your head
|
| Why did you get so late to bed
|
| Runnin' late and feelin' bad
|
| That breakfast was the worst you've had
|
| Make the gate no time to spare
|
| Before you know you're in the air
|
| 747 flies us high
|
| Much higher than we're meant to be
|
| You're six miles high but feelin' down
|
| You wish you could be on the ground
|
| Find your bags and walk for miles
|
| The customs man is waitin' there
|
| Immigration cause delay
|
| You wonder if you'll ever play
|
| Limousine is standin' by
|
| We get inside and drive a while
|
| F.M. |
| Station soundin' good
|
| And gettin' better every mile
|
| Hotel lobby looks the same
|
| With all the same old girls in town
|
| Press reception takes the day
|
| With all the same old things to say
|
| Need your picture smile this way
|
| And will you tell me what you play
|
| So you wanna be a rock'n'roll star
|
| Just listen now to what I say
|
| Get yourself an electric guitar
|
| And take some time and learn to play
|
| Your roadies call to say OK
|
| The soundcheck can get underway
|
| Soundcheckover, had some fun
|
| A waste of time for everyone
|
| Time has come to start the show
|
| It's boogie time for everyone
|
| Check guitars before you go
|
| They're close enough for rock n roll
|
| The lights are low
|
| The crowd is high,much higher than
|
| They're meant to be
|
| We take the stage and start to play
|
| The lights come up for all to see
|
| Here we are again, singin' the same old songs
|
| Lookin for someone who will sing along
|
| Here we are again playin' the same old scenes
|
| Lookin'for someone who will share our dreams
|
| Here we are again facing the same old sights
|
| Lookin' for someone who will share our nights |
