Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin' kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
The years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn 't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see.
So what's wrong with takin' the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey, now, you're an all-star
Get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a rock star.
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold.
