(BachmanCummings)



Well I've been trying for ages

And it looks like it's all in vain

And if things don't start looking up pretty soon

I'm going home.



Well the folks back home, they wonder where I've been

And they're looking pretty good to me now

So if you're thinking of bright lights and fame

Stay at home.



For there's managers and booking agents

Out for what they can get

And each one says he's your friend

But there's not one of them there but for what he can get out of it

In the end.



So if you're thinking of going on the stage

Put down your guitar, stay in school

Take advantage of your age.



Take it from me, I've been there and I've come back.

Don't be a star.
