I'll Be A Star

from In the Nick of Time by Jim Haptonstahl

/

about

Tune from time in Peoria a few blue moons ago, written at Bradley Park on a breezy August day

lyrics

Live alone in a cave like a hermit
Feed myself like a dog – I deserve it
Go to work every day to preserve it now

Write a song, can’t be long
Seems so hard to do
Spend my time drinking wine
Down enough for two…or three
I’ll be a star, you’ll see, you will see

Dirty socks on the floor at my bedside
Dishes lie in the sink where the bugs hide
Sit in peace in the tub left with no pride now

Write a song, can’t be long
Seems so hard to do
Spend my time drinking wine
Down enough for two…or three
I’ll be a star, you’ll see, you will see, you will see

Write a song, can’t be long
Seems so hard to do
Spend my time drinking wine
Down enough for two…or three
I’ll be a star, you’ll see, you will see

Met a girl in the park, she heard me playin’
Talked about how my long hair’s a’grayin’
Growing up by myself’s got me prayin’ now

Write a song, can’t be long
Seems so hard to do
Spend my time drinking wine
Down enough for two…or three
I’ll be a star, you’ll see, you will see, you will see
You’ll see, you will see…
