Teenage Idol - Blackfoot

A lonely boy in the city

Standing tall up to his blue jean jacket and eyes of pity

He’s got a dream, now he told his Papa

«Don't you worry Daddy

I’ll be back to show you what a life I’ve made»

With a tear falling from his eyes

He knew that he wanted to be

Oh, he wants to be, yes, he’s got to be

Oh, he’d love to be a teenage idol

Standing in his hometown

Waiting for the bus that’ll take him

Farther than he’s ever been

Picked up his bags and kissed his sweetheart

«Don't you worry honey, I’ll be back

To show you what a life I’ve made»

With a tear falling from her eyes

She knew that he’d love to be

Oh, he wants to be, yes, he’s got to be

Oh, he’d love to be a teenage idol

Oh, if he could see, his name on the marquee

He’d live so happily, as a teenage idol

He’s in another city

Standing tall up to his satin jacket and eyes of pity

He’s got it all except for his Papa

«Don't you worry, Daddy

I’ve shown them what a pretty life I’ve made

Even though I’ll miss you badly

You know I always wanted to be»

Oh, I want to be, yes, I’ve got to be

Oh, I’d love to be a teenage idol

Oh, I want to be, yes, I’ve got to be

Oh, I’d love to be a teenage idol

Yes, I want to be, oh, I’ve got to be

Oh, I’d want to be a teenage idol

Yes, I’d love to see, my name on the marquee

I’d live so happily as a teenage idol

Oh, I’d want to be, yes, I’ve got to be

Oh, I’d love to be a teenage idol
