[Verse 1: Telltale]
Young dreamer tryna shoot for the stars
But big dreams never got him too far
Most nights sleeping out in his car
His daddy says life's not that fucking hard
Someone told him he should move out to LA
That's the place with all the fortune and the fame
Pen on paper, signed his whole life away
What a shame, such a shame that we're both the same

[Chorus: Telltale]
Oh, how could he have known
How it feels to be alone on the road
Twenty hours away from home?

[Verse 2: Honey Revenge, Honey Revenge & Telltale]
Young girl with her father's guitar
Barely old enough to step in the bar
Playing covers of The Cure and The Cars
Dramatically says she would die for the art
Pictures herself as a young Cobain
She's got a Bleach t-shirt and a beautiful brain
She's been singing just to deal with the pain
It's okay, I've been doing the same, honestly

[Chorus: Telltale]
Oh, how could he have known
How it feels to be alone on the road
Twenty hours away from home?
And oh, oh, no one ever knows
What it feels like, forty shows in a row
They're singing every note
[Bridge: Telltale & Honey Revenge]
I'm just gonna sit outside the club
'Cause I don't really want to die this young
Wearing all black with a white lighter
No, you don't want to light my fire

[Chorus: Telltale]
Oh, how could he have known
How it feels to be alone on the road
Twenty hours away from home?
And oh, oh, no one ever knows
What it feels like, forty shows in a row
They're singing every note

[Outro: Telltale]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
No one ever knows
Oh, oh, oh
