Never Fade Away
He was just a boy sitting on his daddy's knee
When he saw the Beatles on the family TV
He smiled and laughed and said hey Daddy
One of these days that's gonna be me
It was five years later when he got his first guitar
And he began dreaming of the day he'd be a star
Started his first band when he was fifteen
Playing covers by KISS, Zeppelin, and Queen
He made his wish on a shooting star
Knowing his music would take him far
And he'll never fade away
Made his first record at the age on nineteen
And rose to the top of the music scene
Had a number one hit at the top of the charts
Had a real easy job of breaking all the girl's hearts
Hooked on drugs by the time he was twenty-one
His rock and roll days were just about done
Surrounded by the glam and blinded by the light
He died a lonely man on a cold Friday night
He made his wish on a shooting star
Knowing his music would take him far
And he'll never fade away
