"Rockstar" lyrics - DOLLY PARTON

[Intro:]
Good, Lord, stop that noise
Well, I have to practice
Why in the world would anybody want to be in rock 'n' roll?
Oh honey, she says it's her dream, it's her passion
Ha-ha, that's passion? Give me a break
Well, I'm gonna be in rock 'n' roll, whether you two like it or not
I'll show them
Rockstar
Rockstar

After school I know the rules, do my chores in a hurry
My radio, my records wait inside my sanctuary
A teenage dreamer, dreaming one day I could be a star
I close my door, turn on my amp, and plug in my guitar

[Chorus:]
I'm a rockstar (Rockstar)
They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play
Hear me play
Rockstar (Rockstar)
I stand before my mirror, play and sing and dream, someday
I'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night
Have 'em dancing in the aisles, I'll be famous
I'll be a rockstar

"Stop that god-awful music," Mama's yelling from the kitchen
Me, I smell success along with Mama's fryin' chicken
Dad storms in my room, unplugs my amp and starts his bitchin'
But to their sorrow, I'll just do the same dang thing tomorrow

[Chorus:]
I'm a rockstar (Rockstar)
They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play
I play
Rockstar (Rockstar)
I stand before my mirror, play and sing and dream, someday
I'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night
Have 'em dancing in the aisles, I'll be famous
I'll be a rockstar

[Post-Chorus:]
Ooh
Oh-ooh
Ooh

[Interlude:]
Squalling at the top of your lungs and twangin' on that old damned guitar, it ain't gon' get you nowhere
Honey, you need to get out of this house, make some friends, do something ordinary
Well, I don't wanna be ordinary
I wanna be a (Rockstar) rockstar

[Bridge:]
Don't you ever give up on your dreams
No matter how far-fetched they seem
They may not be all that extreme
And I dreamed (I dreamed), I dreamed (I dreamed), I dreamed (I dreamed)
I dreamed I was a rockstar

[Chorus:]
They say if you can dream it, you can have it so just play
Rockstar (Rockstar)
Stand before your mirror, play and sing and dream away
That you'll be standing in the lights, selling shows out every night
Have 'em dancing in the aisle, you'll be famous
You'll be a rockstar (Rockstar)
They say if you can dream it, you can have it so I play
Oh, yeah-yeah
Rockstar (Rockstar)
I'm standing on the stage now and I thank God every day
My folks dancin' in the aisle, screaming out, "Hey, that's our child"
Jerry Reed would say, "Yeah, right," now they claim me
They always thought I'd be a rockstar

[Outro:]
(Rockstar) Rockstar
(Rockstar) Rockstar
(Rockstar) I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be a rockstar
(Rockstar) I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be, yeah, I'm gonna be a, I'm gonna be a rockstar
