I hit the stage
Guitar in hand
A rebel heart
A rock n roll stand
The road is long
The nights are wild
But I'll never back down
I'm a musical child
I've played in smoky bars
Neon lit streets
From the mountains to the city
From dusk until sleep
The crowds may come and they may go
Cheering on this old kid Joe
As long as they can hear me
They'll be the ones to know
Baring your soul
It ain't easy
Under the blinding lights
Is a high I can't deny
Speck in the sky
You can only get so far
Oh I wish
I wasn't the broken star
There's a fire going
Deep in my soul
Not just the nicotine
That happens to be my coal
It's the guilt and shame
That makes its way
Down my achy voice
When the fingers play
It's only love
That keeps me sane
The smile sure hides
The pain
Baring your soul
It ain't easy
Under the blinding lights
Is a high I can't deny
Speck in the sky
You can only get so far
Oh I wish
I wasn't the broken star
The times I faked
The dreams got made
The poison snake
Turned love to hate
Free falling soul
In a black hole
Let the music
Swallow me whole
Just like a star
Blazing bright
One last time before
It surely dies
I will give it all
Having come so far
Oh, remember me as the broken star
