I'd Rather Be A Roadie
Kjelland/Ranney

I once held a spot at the top with you
I rode the corporate rail
My sanity forced me to jump and fall
To a life of simplicity

I once had a pocket of cash like you
I owned a few gold bars
Believing that you wanted to care for me
I signed the dotted line

I'd rather be a roadie
Than a puppet on a string
Like a bird without a wing

I once had a stack of the names I knew
I rang the company bell
My time is now spent on enjoying the life
That I could never find before

I once was an idol to teenage girls
And a product to be bought and sold
Feeling that the music was dead and stale
I turned and walked away

I gave up all my fame and fortune for a soul
And if you ask me if I'd go back I'd say no
