RED GUITAR

Lyrics

[Chorus] I just bought a brand-new red guitar With six gold strings and a whammy bar If I play real good, it'll take me far Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar I just bought a brand-new red guitar With six gold strings and a whammy bar If I play real good, it'll take me far Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar [Verse 1] What's up? I'm Awsten and I'm fucking exhausted The meter is running, can't imagine what it's costing To keep up these superhuman levels of delusion That all eyes are on me, they tune in like Truman But really the truth is, reality's ruthless So hard to remember why I even do this Oh yeah, the delusion that I've had since I was thirteen That I could write a song and they'd put me on a magazine [Pre-Chorus] Where none of y'all could ever, ever hurt me, no Where none of you could ever, ever hurt me 'cause [Chorus] I just bought a brand-new red guitar With six gold strings and a whammy bar If I play real good, it'll take me far Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar [Verse 2] If I could check back in on me as a kid Be a crystal ball, he can see how we did Knowing what I know and remembering him It'd probably go something like this "How's the future?" Woah "Are we famous?" No "Oh, well, what's it like though?" Well, your life is a circus that makes you feel worthless The ones you love most are the ones who get hurt, it's a— "Wait, is this worth it?" It's our purpose (Woah) [Chorus] I just bought a brand-new red guitar With six gold strings and a whammy bar If I play real good, it'll take me far Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar [Bridge] Where none of y'all could ever, ever hurt me, no Where none of you could ever, ever hurt me (Woah) [Chorus] I just bought a brand-new red guitar With six gold strings and a whammy bar If I play real good, it'll take me far Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar I just bought a brand-new red guitar With six gold strings and a whammy bar If I play real good, it'll take me far Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
