lyrics

As soon as I wake up I can feel the pain kickin in
Hand to my head and say I’m never gonna drink again
Then I feel myself smiling cause I know I’m lying
Typical Ryan
Pants, shirt, shoes, keys, wallet, phone, shades
Hit the nearest corner store for purple Gatorade
And
As I stand in line with people behind me
I wonder what it’d be like if they recognized me
But no words as I pay the man
Head to the door and take a sip of my beverage
Maybe tomorrow things might change
But for now

I’ll pretend that I’m famous
Tonight
Let’s pretend that Bud Light is some really expensive wine
All this time I never knew that fame was in my mind
(I shoulda told ya)
Fame was in my mind
(I never listened to ya)
Fame was in my mind

I’m so sick of this job, I’m so sick of this job
These words keep cycling through my head all day long
Until I grab my guitar
And I can start shooting for the stars on Hollywood Boulevard
You are a liar, if you say attention
Was never the intention
Come on, man
Grab you a drink after that open mic set and come talk to me

We’ll pretend that we’re famous
Tonight
Let’s pretend that Bud Light is some really expensive wine
All this time I never knew that fame was in my mind
(I shoulda told ya)
Fame was in my mind
(I woulda listened to ya)
Fame was my mind

All my life
I don’t wanna be mad
