Local boy

He got weights on his shoulders

He got chains round his neck

'Fore he get very much older

He be a nervous wreck

Local boy chops wood, headlines read

Local boy makes good, watch him bleed

Local boy chops wood, what went wrong?

Local boy make good, wasn't too strong?

Plenty hangers on

To keep him happy and high

But deep down inside him

You can hear him cry

Local boy chops wood, headlines read

Local boy makes good, watch him bleed

Local boy chops wood, what went wrong?

Local boy chops wood, wasn't too strong?

One riff of his guitar

He gonna change the whole scene

He's a rebel romantic

With a death wish dream

He keep ice in his young veins

To cool the fires in his head

Takes more than double, double brandy

To dry the tears he shed

Rock star found dead, headlines read

Rock star found dead, pictures need

Rock star found dead, what went wrong?

Rock star found dead, wasn't too strong?
