From the recording Better late than never
Lyrics
Well I’ve been away. For a many odd year.
And I left my home. With my dreams and fears.
And I tried so hard. To be an honest man.
Well I guess that I. Need a helping hand?
Chorus:
Everybody wants to be,
something more than they are.
Everybody wants to be a star.
Everybody wants to be,
something more than they are.
Everybody wants to be a star.
Well I went out west. To see what’s best
And I went down south. With the Cottonmouth.
And I learned from them. Cash and Orbison.
From the muddy banks. To the records of the sun.
Chorus:
Everybody wants to be,
something more than they are.
Everybody wants to be a star.
Everybody wants to be,
something more than they are.
Everybody wants to be a star.
