Late in the night in a smoky bar
A drunkard smashed down his twentieth jar
No one took notice of the broken guy
Who searched in vain for the reason why

His girl left him back ina bad constitution
And sometimeshe has the crazy illusion
Of a life in glamour, of a life in gold
Of a woman's heat-but the stuff is cold

Rockstar, play rock n' roll
People love you million miles from home
Rockstar, belive your soul
Rock n' roll will lead you to the light

Later he unpacks his old guitar
He plays a song by the twenty-fifth jar
Cries the blues of a rotten life
A melody-a straw for survive

Now he's famous, has a lot of money
He plays for a millions-ain't it funny?
His songs stay honestin spite of fame
The feeling in his heart remains the same

Rockstar, play rock n' roll
People love you million miles from home
Rockstar, belive your soul
Rock n' roll will lead you to the light
