Almost Famous Lyrics

Low down to famous the price can be high.
You pay through the nose for a ticket to ride.
The very first time you see your name up in lights.
You're blinded by the stars in your eyes.

Halfway to nowhere almost but not quite.
The talk of the town every saturday night.
Come monday morning you get cut down to size.
It's back to the basics of life.

It ain't easy being almost famous.
In every smoke filled "honkytonk saloon".
It ain't easy being almost famous
Existing here beneath this "neon moon".

So much for daydreams, you better get real.
Whatever it takes, beg, borrow or steal.
You pay when you play, there ain't nothing for free.
Believe it! You can take it from me.

It ain't easy being almost famous.
In every backstreet, low-rent rendez-vouz.
It ain't easy being almost famous
Existing here beneath this "neon moon".

Let's all raise another glass or two.
Here's looking at you, don't mind if I do.
This easy cheer is getting old.
So let's all drink to th open road.

It ain't easy being almost famous.
In every smoke filled "honkytonk saloon".
It ain't easy being almost famous
Existing here beneath this "neon moon".

It ain't easy being almost famous.
In every backstreet, low-rent rendez-vouz.
It ain't easy being almost famous
Existing here beneath this "neon moon".
Existing here beneath this "neon moon".
