Song information

Artist: One Man Army
Album: Dead End Stories

Lyrics

He left for the stars on the streets
With six strings
A song in his head
And three chords in his heart
Well they all gave him six months at most
He'd be right back
Right back at home

But his names in the marquis lights
Tonight hollywood
The kid with a one track mind
Born to lose
Rock bottom couldn't hold him
To his fate's own making
He stands alone with a bottle
Far far from home

Ten years later he wakes up
There's a new face on tv
He's got a job as an extra
And a guitar with two strings
Anything he's ever wanted
Has eluded him in the end
He aint done
No he aint done

He left for the stars on the streets
For home
He'd need some time on his own
But he'd never forget those same three chords
He'll be back just like before

But his names in the marquis lights
Tonight hollywood
The kid with a one track mind
Born to lose
Rock bottom couldn't hold him
To his fate's own making
He stands alone with a bottle
Far far from home
