Child Star - Ron Sexsmith

Child star, child star

You’ve reached the end of the road

They only wanted you

When you were good as gold

Child star, child star

You’ve had a pretty long run

Go back to the real world

While you’re still young

Did you think this love would last?

Did you think this love was true?

It came and went so fast

They loved somebody but it wasn’t you

Child star, child star

This is where we get off

Stay on and ride awhile

Till the road gets rough

They loved somebody but it wasn’t you

Child star, child star

Live and learn and move on

Go back to the real world

While you’re still young
