it turns out my mom is my biggest fan
well that's nice, but it was never part of the plan
I might always just be the boy from next door
with the banks always telling me that I am poor
but too much fame and fortune might spoil my simple life
but some would be nice

maybe my songs won't end up on the radio
and buy me a big fancy car
I'll be content with my friends right here at home
strummin' on my old guitar
just an everyday rock star

the car that I drive is a miracle on wheels
and my typical day takes me from meal to meal
and the road of less travel is my road of choice
as I carefully follow that still small voice
I don't need a trophy to warrant my simple life
cause it's what I like

maybe my songs won't end up on the radio
and buy me a big fancy car
I'll be content with my friends right here at home
strummin' on my old guitar
just an everyday rock star

I know that this moment can't last forever
but I love how the music can bring us together
maybe one Bono is enough for the world
but maybe my songs can help some little girl

maybe my songs won't end up on the radio
and buy me a big fancy car
I'll be content with my friends right here at home
strummin' on my old guitar
just an everyday rock star
