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 ???Hurt So Good??? in a ???Ring of Fire???
???American Pie,??? ???I Will Survive,???
The Bee Gees sang, I was ???Stayin' 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,
???Boot 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 ???Glory 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,
???Boot 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,
???Boot 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)
