Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a girl in the backyard bangin' on her drum
Sittin' in a junk pile, laughin' at the sun
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I just wanna be a rockstar
[Verse 2]
There's a boy in the backseat singin' to the song
Playin' on the radio knowing he's the one
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I just wanna be a rockstar
[Verse 3]
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I was born to be a rockstar
[Verse 4]
There's a girl in the tree top lookin' at the stars
Waitin' for a touchdown comin' in from Mars
Thinkin', is there anybody out there?
[Verse 5]
There's a boy thinking of her playin' his guitar
Searchin' for the answer buried in his heart
Thinkin', ah, ah, ah, is there anybody out there?
[Verse 6]
Singin', ah, ah, ah, is there anybody out there?
[Verse 7]
If there's a meaning, can you show me a sign?
The more I look, it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why?
[Verse 8]
And we're all getting older, wishin' we were young
Hangin' on the memory of what we would become
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I was born to be a rockstar
[Verse 9]
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I just wanna be a rockstar
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I was born to be a rockstar
[Verse 10]
If there's a meaning, can you show me a sign?
The more I look, it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why
[Verse 11]
And maybe we will never figure it out
I got a feelin' that's what life's all about
I'm learnin' anything is possible now
[Verse 12]
Take a ticket and get off the line
Take a ticket and get off the line
Take a ticket and get off the line
Take a ticket and get off the line
So, take a ticket and get off the line
Take a ticket and get off the line
Take a ticket and get off the line
So, take a ticket and get off the line
[Verse 13]
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I was born to be a rockstar
Take your ticket and get off the line
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I was born to be a rockstar
Take your ticket and get off the line
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I just wanna be a rockstar
Take your ticket and get off the line
Singin', ah, ah, ah, I was born to be a rockstar
