Original Song Lyrics - "Rock 'N Roll Star"

Yesterday, I wrote that I would be posting fifteen original sets of song lyrics in the near future. I have decided that I will be posting them in chronological order with dates ranging from 2012 to present, and the dates will be provided at the end of the posts. Minor grammatical, phrasing, and structural changes are the only changes that I will be making to the lyrics before I post them, and all else has remained the same. All song lyrics written by Alexander Schwartz except where noted.


Rock 'N Roll Star

It started off with an I can't and what ifs
A cheap Stratocaster-- a beat up guitar
Supersonic Synsonic riffs,
A cheap Stratocaster without a whammy bar
Chances are I wouldn't make it far

In the beginning
A cheap guitar was all that I need
Smokin' on the water in the car
Fire in the sky helped me succeed
Chances are I could make it far

I began writing songs with a rhyme scheme
Songs with that classic rock and roll theme
Just like Hendrix, Morrison, Clapton and Page
Nobody's who got big on the stage

Chances are I could make it far
Be a rock 'n roll star
Chances are I couldn't make it far
Become a rock 'n roll star

Chances are I wouldn't make it far
Be a rock 'n roll star
Chances are I shouldn't make it far
Become a rock 'n roll star

I moved on up and bought a Telecaster
Playing scales from a to g I started to master
I moved on up and bought a Vox
It sounded like a millions bucks out of the box
Chances are I could make it far

I began writing songs with a rhyme scheme
Songs with that classic rock and roll theme
Just like Hendrix, Morrison, Clapton and Page
Nobody's who got big on the stage

Chances are I could make it far
Be a rock 'n roll star
Chances are I couldn't make it far
Become a rock 'n roll star

Chances are I wouldn't make it far
Be a rock 'n roll star
Chances are I shouldn't make it far
Become a rock 'n roll star

[Instrumental Break]

All I need is a hit single song
With one man, one myth, one legend
It couldn't take very long

All I need is just one single song
With one man, one myth, one legend
It shouldn't take very long

In such a short time that didn't seem very long
I'm one man, one myth, one legend
With hopes of a hit single song

Yeah, I'm gonna make it real far
Become a rock 'n roll star
