Teen Age Idol Lyrics By Rick Nelson

    some people call me a teenage idol
    some people say they envy me
    i guess they got no way of knowing
    how lonesome i can be

    i need somebody to be my baby
    someone to tell my troubles to
    i got no time to ever find her
    ’cause i’m just passing through

    i travel around from town to lonely town
    i guess i’ll always be just 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 got no rest when i’m feeling weary
    i got to pack my bags and go
    i 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 just 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 got no way of knowing
    how lonesome i can be
    how lonesome i can be
