Old dusty road, take me home
I've had too many beers, and my son is on the phone
I've never felt this sad in my whole life
I feel my time is wasting, my mind has gone to hell
Ooh, I was gonna be someone
Ooh, I was gonna be rich and famous
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Oh, lovely Rose, it's been too long
I lied so many times, never thought that I was wrong
And I miss my mum and dad, I haven't seen them for some time
But I drove right by the parlour, no flowers on their shrine
Ooh, I was gonna be someone
Ooh, I was gonna be rich and famous
Ooh, I was gonna be someone
Ooh, I was gonna be rich and famous
Love me, love me for one more day
Take me, take me oceans away
This long life all but kills with pain
And Lord knows I made too many mistakes
Ooh-ooh

Ooh, I was gonna be someone
Ooh, I was gonna be rich and famous
Ooh, I was gonna be someone
Ooh, I was gonna be rich and famous
Love me, love me for one more day
(Ooh-ooh) Take me, take me oceans away
(Ooh-ooh) This long life all but kills with pain
(Ooh-ooh) And Lord knows I made too many mistakes
Love me, love me for one more day
(Ooh-ooh) Take me, take me oceans away
(Ooh-ooh) This long life all but kills with pain
(Ooh-ooh) And Lord knows I made too many mistakes
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
