Teen King lyrics

You were a small time session man 
Scuffling around L.A.
Nights at the Troubadour 
Waiting for a chance to play
I remember you were hanging around 
Cause you had no place to stay
Man that seems like a long long ways away

Baby you're the teen king
Now they call you the teen king
Now that you're a star
All the chicks in the bar know what you're drinking

Well you made yourself a name 
And you're sitting on top of the world
And you smile like a heartbreaker shaking up the little girls
And every night you walk on stage it's always just the same
You got twenty thousand people screaming out your name

They come to see the teen king
Now they call you the teen king
And all the crazy nights and the flash of the lights
Just leave you blinking

Oooh when are you gonna slow down
Oooh when are you gonna slow down
Teen king

Now you're living so high 
That you're walking on a dangerous line
And don't you know when you fall it's always unkind
Hey you were right wen you said
that it's hard to tell the night time from the day
But you wind up a desperado anyway

They call you the teen king
Now they call you the teen king
Well they say they love you 
But you never know just what they're thinking

Baby you're the teen king
Now they call you the teen king
And all the crazy nights and the flash of the lights
Just leave you blinking

Baby you're the teen king
Now they call you the teen king
Now that you're a star
All the chicks at the bar 
Know what you're drinking
Tequila sunrise
