Once upon a time I wanted to be famous Get real popular and sing to crowds on stages Spent my 20s trying to join a band Hoping to be the next Axl Rose I was gonna have so many fans Least that's what the fortune teller sold I got lost so far from home Searched for years I still don't know What I want or where I'll go... Found myself performing open mics Once a week in Shanghai for two years Mr Zhang and Lao Lu paid me right And they hooked me up with some free beers Couple shows here and there No traction Decade passed in thin air I was distracted I got lost so far from home Searched for years I still don't know What I want or where I'll go... Here's to those who follow through With what they say they're gonna do Never thought I'd end up less than perfect I thought wrong, wrote this song Now it's time to act like who I respect Disappointed how the bands I joined all broke up Even though we played some shows where people loved us Guess that's how it goes, no one got paid Looking back it all starts to make sense Other things like life got in the way Spent too much time sitting on the fence I got lost so far from home Searched for years I still don't know What I want or where I'll go... Here's to those who follow through With what they say they're gonna do Never thought I'd end up less than perfect I thought wrong, wrote this song Now it's time to act like who I respect
