Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Well, he left for the stars on the streets With six strings A song in his head And three chords in his heart Well, they all gave him six months at most He'd be right back Right back at home [Chorus] But his name's in the marquis lights Tonight, Hollywood The kid with a one-track mind Born to lose Rock bottom couldn't hold him To his fate's own makin' He stands alone with a bottle Far, far from home [Bridge] Ten years later he wakes up There's a new face on TV He's got a job as an extra And a guitar with two strings Anything he's ever wanted He has eluded in the end But he ain't done No, he ain't done [Verse 2] Well, he left for the stars on the streets For home He'd need some time on his own But he'd never forget those same three chords He'll be back, just like before [Chorus] But his name's in the marquis lights Tonight, Hollywood The kid with a one-track mind Born to lose Rock bottom couldn't hold him To his fate's own makin' He stands alone with a bottle Far, far from home
