When I was young and stupid, my love left to be a rock and roll star
He told me, “Please don’t worry, wise little smile, that spoke so safely”
He booked a one-way ticket out west, that’s where they make it
Six in a bed, set to a sun-swept poolside riches
He met a girl who wore Versace, pink r coats and jungle jewelry
Gonna be her Houdini, he’s gonna be her Hakeem Olajuwon
He’s got a Camaro, he said over the payphone
I tried to keep my cool, but my life turns in slow motion
Bye bye baby blue, I wish you could see the wicked truth
Caught up in a rush, it’s you
Dreaming at the sun, you’re too
Caught up in a whirlwind, he was
Singles in a you might run
Settle for the gold, I never knew
Super paradise, I held on to
But I settled for the gold
When I was from, and no one left to be a rock and roll star
He’d stay and treat his lady, give everything to his new baby
I miss him, don’t you blame me
That boy went stone cold crazy
Caught up in cameras, he’s chasing that pipe dream
