A TEENAGE IDOL
Ricky Nelson 


Written by Jack Lewis 
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've 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 get 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
