Lyrics
I've played in all the big night clubs
I was at the top of my game
All those hundreds of thousands
cheered every move that I made.
I went to number one, outswam many a shark,
I bought a penthouse on Central Park.
All those limos and groupies,
walked down those carpets of red,
Sleepin' in big fancy hotels,
They're not like my good old bed.
and when those people clap, it's a heady sound,
I would rather play for friends in my home town..
I paid the price, I got the hit.
I made it big , and then I quit..
