Sent a telegram today Tomorrow you'll be on your way It could be Memphis or L.A No questions, just get out and play Wake up call to catch the plane You know you're on the road again Someone's banging in your head When did you get so late to bed? You're running late and feeling bad That breakfast was the worst you had You make the gate, no time to spare Before you know, you're still here The 747 flies so high Much higher than we're meant to be Six miles high but feeling down You wish you could be on the ground Find your bags, walk for miles The customs man is waiting there Immigration cause delay You wonder if you'll ever play Limousine is standing by You get inside, drive a while FM station sounding good Getting better every mile Hotel lobby looks the same With all the same old girls in town Press reception takes the day With all the same old things to say "I need your picture, smile this way" "And will you tell me what you play?" So you wanna be a rock 'n' roll star Just listen now to what I say Get yourself an electric guitar And take some time and learn how to play Roaming's called, they say "Okay" Sound check and you're on your way Sound check over, have some fun It'll be some time for everyone Time has come to start the show It's boogie time for everyone Check guitars before you go Close enough, rock 'n' roller The lights are low, the crowd is high Much higher than you're meant to be You check the stage, start to play The lights come up for all to see
