From the recording Almost Famous
Lyrics
<p>I was seeing a nurse she appealed to my libido<br /> You were living with a weatherman from the affiliate in Toledo<br /> He said although it was a small, small station<br /> He got his kicks from meteorological devastation<br /> You said it made you feel almost famous<br /> <br /> We cut the Midwest for Las Vegas in Elvis’ Cadillac tracks<br /> By the time we hit Pittsburgh<br /> We were too far-gone to even think of turning back<br /> Gasoline, gift shops and cheap sunglasses<br /> You said the highway was the opiate of the masses<br /> I said it made you sound almost famous<br /> Maybe we were drifting maybe we were running away<br /> Maybe we were bebopalula now baby famous for one day<br /> Almost famous<br /> <br /> We agreed upon a marriage of convenience gamble on domestic bliss<br /> Midnight in the Smokies in a 7-Eleven I got a Slurpee kiss<br /> Cigarettes and french fries and styrofoam cups<br /> You said we’re so far down we must be going up<br /> Yeah, you said we must be almost famous<br /> The campaign broke down near Atlanta<br /> The way these things been known to do<br /> Living large ain’t easy for a smalltime chick<br /> You bought a one-way ticket back to what you’re used to<br /> Sit there in Ohio watch your man on TV<br /> While a lonesome nurse in Detroit change another IV<br /> Me hell I’m almost famous<br /> Maybe we were slipping maybe we just lost our way<br /> Maybe we were cheating time famous for one day<br /> Almost famous</p>
