lyrics

I ain't a rock star, no
I'm just broken-hearted
It's when you let me go
That's when the party started
I'm going out tonight
Startin' tabs tonight
Sing the ladies all a song till I feel all right
I meet a girl and then
Maybe she's got a friend
Go to bed and wake up and do it again
I ain't a rock star, no
I'm just broken-hearted

I'm a tidal wave, I'm a hurricane
I'm a fireball, I'm a freight train
I ain't a rock star
I'm just broken-hearted
I can't stop once I get started
You know you really oughta go to the show
But I know you won't go
You know you really oughta go to the show
But I know you won't go

I ain't a rock star, no
I'm just broken-hearted
It's like the captain drowned
Right when the ship departed
I'm going out tonight
Sold out tonight
Get deaf from the drums and blind from the light
Get off stage and then
Piss off another friend
Go to bed and wake up and do it again
I ain't a rock star, no
I'm just broken-hearted

I'm a tidal wave, I'm a hurricane
I'm a fireball, I'm a freight train
I ain't a rock star
I'm just broken-hearted
I can't stop once I get started
You know you really oughta go to the show
But I know you won't go
You know you really oughta go to the show
But I know you won't go

And on the day you said goodbye
Well, I was already high
And on the day that I die
I hope dying's all that I haven't tried
Oh won't you make sense of it all
Oh won't you be there
Won't you stop me, hold me, catch me
When I fall

You know you really oughta go to the show
(But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go)
You know you really oughta go to the show
(But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go)
You know you really oughta go to the show
(But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go)
You know you really oughta go to the show
(But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go)
You know you really oughta go to the show
(But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go)
You know you really oughta go to the show
(But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go)
You oughta go

You know you really oughta go
You know you really oughta go

I ain't a rock star, no
I'm just broken-hearted

about

Sidewalk Driver Boston

The music of Sidewalk Driver is high energy, highly-infectious, hook-driven, Rock with a capital 'R.' The sound is modern but the heart of the band seems to be more in line with 1970s rock culture - the Bowies & the Belushis of the world. The songs always come with some odd bent but not one that repels; rather, they welcome you to join in the celebration like a carnival barker hyping a freak show. ... more
