[Verse]Well I've been trying for agesAnd it looks like it's all in vainAnd if things don't start looking up pretty soonI'm going homeWell the folks back homeThey wonder where I've beenAnd they're looking pretty good to me nowSo if you're thinking of bright lights and fameStay at homeFor there's managers and booking agentsOut for what they can getAnd each one says he's your friendBut there's not one of them thereBut for what he can get out of itIn the endSo if you're thinking of going on the stagePut down your guitar, stay in schoolTake advantage of your ageTake it from meI've been there and I've come backDon't be a star
