my daddy worked from nine to five
momma stayed home with me
by the time i was half alive
i knew what i was gonna be

i left school, i grew my hair
they didn't understand
they wanted me to be respected as
a doctor or a lawyer man

i'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
i'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
i'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
i'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

as i grew up i worked real hard
so i could buy a guitar
i wanted to be on the top one day
i wanted to be a star

i could see my name in lights
and i could can see the queue
i had the devil in my blood
tellin' me what to do

i'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
i'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
i'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
i'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
