Chorus 1
My dad was trying to be a rock star
My dad was makin’ noise it seemed to me
Dad thought he could be a rock star
That’s when he was thirty-three
V1
He sure loved the Beatles
Listened to the Rolling Stones
I could hear Led Zeppelin
Leakin’ from headphones
I was just a toddler then
I heard all those songs again... And again...
Chorus 2:
My dad was trying to be a rock star
My dad was embarrassing me
Dad thought he could be a rock star
He was almost forty-three
V2
He lost his way in the Eighties
He thought the new stuff was crap
Yelled at me ‘bout Country
Wouldn’t even listen to Rap
I was a kid those days
I thought for sure we’d part ways...
We couldn’t talk... for days and days...
Chorus 3:
My dad was trying to be a rock star
Dad seemed crazy to me
My dad was trying to be a rock star
He was almost sixty-three
Then I thought I might wanna be a rock star too.
V3
Then I really heard the Beatles
Caught the fire of the Rolling Stones
Knew what Led Zeppelin meant
‘bout squeezin’those lemons oh!
And here we are in this funky dive
Provin’ rocknroll is still alive
I’m in my thirties now
Daddy’s over sixty-five
Chorus 4:
I’m trying to be a rock star
My dad is helping me
I’m trying to be a rock star
I’m trying to be a rock star
At the age of thirty-three
I’m just trying to be
I’m just trying to be, yeah,
A rock star, rock star, rock star
