A Teenage Idol Lyrics

by Ricky Nelson

A teenage idol / Ricky Nelson 1962

Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they've got no way of knowin?
How lonesome I can be

I need somebody to be my baby
Someone to tell my troubles to
I've got no time to ever find her
For I'm just passin? through

I travel around
From town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be like a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame
And lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone

I get no rest when I'm feelin? weary
I've got to pack my bag and go
I've got to be somewhere tomorrow
To smile and do my show

I travel around
From town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be like a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame
And lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone

Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they've got no way of knowin?
How lonesome I can be
