When I grow up, I wanna play guitar.
Sing my songs, and go real far.
I wanna 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-Ma-Ma-Ma-My Sharona,
I œHurt So Good? in a œRing of Fire.?
œAmerican Pie,? œI Will Survive,?
The Bee Gees sang, I was œStayin' 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,
œBoot 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 wanna be a country rock star.

Singing Air Supply, playing air guitar,
I was up onstage at a karaoke bar.
Coincidental I was feeling sentimental,
Got a little goose-bumps
From an instrumental.
Springsteen sang the œGlory 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,
œBoot 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 wanna 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!
Doing the Michael J moonwalk just for fun,
œBoot 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 wanna be a country rock star.

I wanna be a country rock star¦
Country rock star¦(to fade)
