Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama don't pray for my success anymore, yeah
But mama still prays for me
Seein' the world ain't really seein' the world
Through a window from A to B
Between alcohol and women and Adderall and adrenaline
I don't ever get no rest
Signed my life away to be the life of the party
Yeah, to everybody else
[PreChorus]
I look like a rockstar, in and out of cop cars
Living out a suitcase, trashin' hotel bars
If I see the sunrise, it's 'cause I stayed up all night
Drinkin' 'cause I need to, damnit, what a good life
Judgin' by my long hair, you might think I don't care
Sittin' here sippin' and bitchin' about a spot where
People would kill to be, kill to be, kill to be
But, y'all, it ain't as good as it seems
[Chorus]
This livin' the dream is killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
It's killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
[Verse 2]
Another day, another venue
There's trouble to get into
And love ain't on the menu again
Lonely as an eagle
I meet a thousand people
Who think I got a thousand friends
[PreChorus]
Ooh
There's a stranger in the mirror
Ooh
But according to the pictures
[PreChorus]
I'm a rockstar, in and out of cop cars
Livin' out a suitcase, trashin' hotel bars
If I see the sunrise, it's 'cause I stayed up all night
Drinkin' 'cause I need to, damnit, what a good life
Judgin' by my long hair, you might think I don't care
Sittin' here sippin' and bitchin' about a spot where
People would kill to be, kill to be, kill to be
But, y'all, it ain't as good as it seems
[Chorus]
This livin' the dream is killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
It's killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
Killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
[PreChorus]
Ooh
There's a stranger in the mirror
Ooh
But according to the pictures
[PreChorus]
I'm a rockstar, in and out of cop cars
Livin' out a suitcase, trashin' hotel bars
If I see the sunrise, it's 'cause I stayed up all night
Drinkin' 'cause I need to, damnit, what a good life
Judgin' by my long hair, you might think I don't care
Sittin' here sippin' and bitchin' about a spot where
People would kill to be, kill to be, kill to be
But, y'all, it ain't as good as it seems
[Chorus]
This livin' the dream is killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
It's killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
Killin' me, killin' me, killin' me
