Verse 1 If you see me walkin down, just be glad you have your crown, just don´t let your pride be your drown, it will only give you frown, make you lose you strat painted in brown, iused to be smart, srticken with life like i had just gotten a passion dart, now i have a crater in my heart, i´m faced with days of conquerin´ smiles and losin´ my heirloom tiles Chorus Oh, Life of a Star, i´d trade you for a night at a bar, while drivin´a beat up car, downtrodden ´n´facin´ a hard life of scars, but i lost you on a gamblin´ night, and getting you back will be my plight Verse 2 I never knew a life without grief, from a beautiful shore i went adrift, had music as my gift, got real smart, at the peak of my art i became a prick, spent nights playin´ Baccarat, my house was sold by the price of my litography of Braques, now i´m own nemesis and count drac Verse 3 Poppin´ pills, struggling to pay my bills, though i still have my skills, playin´ my beat-up old guitar, super close yet super far, just have my bed and a poster of Johnny Cash, i go to work and then i crash, wish i hadn´t tried to flash Repeat Chorus Verse 4 Go to work every day, so that my kids can make their creations out of clay, they play with a kite while i´m at the construction site, it was a long delay, but it´s life´s unique way, used to drive the latest Porsche and now i can´t get fish on a tray, strugglin´ to pay for my daughter´s crayons, she´ll go to her mum when she gets her license and her dream Audi e-tron.
