[Verse 1]
I hear they're building casinos
A few miles from my old house
I think I'll take all my money
See if I can figure it out

[Pre-Chorus]
So I sold my guitar
It's no use to me
If I can't be a star
Well I will be the next best thing

[Chorus]
I thought by now that I
Would be a king and you'd be my queen
I thought by now the world
Would have stopped just to notice me

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'll join the navy
Get sent to attack
Why would I fight for a country
That doesn't even have my back?

[Pre-Chorus]
So I sold my car
It's no use to me
Wherever you go
There you are and you aren't with me
[Chorus]
I thought by now that I
Would be a king and you'd be my queen
I thought by now the world
Would have stopped just to notice me

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I thought by now that I
Would be a king and you'd be my queen
I thought by now the world
Would have stopped just to notice me
Yeah yeah hey-yeah oh
Yeah yeah hey-yeah oh
