Intro : (4x)
Alison wrote me a s ong and told me to list en
She picked u p her guitar and started h umming
her melody
I rem ember wanting to kn ow if she needed ass ista nce
She said "W hy don't you try, you might stri ke
the right chord in me"
What's it to you n ow
You're going d own
Nobody laughed when Alison thought she'd be f amou s
Although n obody really kn ew that she had a voice
Alison hit # 1 in the start of Sept embe r
And by Chr istmas she was already s inging about
other boys
So, it was s even inches of gold produced by des ire
But f ifteen minutes of f ame was more than
she could share
Now, Alison's got a new f avorite taking her h ighe r
And I'm just a kid trying to w ork my way outta here
When Alison's band fell ap art, she wrote me a l ette r
I gu ess she was trying to th ank me for letting her go
She said she'd k eep on playing her s ongs in lack of
something b ette r
But I b et she was wondering h ow she would do
back home
