about

Most of the story is in the song intro....can't think of much else to say about it :)

lyrics

when you gonna be a folk star
my devil says to me
‘cause you can do it all for freedom
but you can’t do it all for free
you got nothing in your pockets
but a winded minor key
when you gonna be a folk star

when you gonna be a big girl
my devil says to me
‘cause you’re old enough to know
it’s your responsibility
but you’re shy about the telephone
you’re shy about your dream
when you gonna be a big girl

when you gonna be remembered
my devil says to me
‘cause you’re singing them your songs
and then they’re floating out to sea
are you holding something back
or have you let them go to seed
when you gonna be remembered

why are you so happy
my devil says to me
i hurt you but you wouldn’t ever dare
to set me free
i do my best to keep you from
the lap of luxury
so why are you so happy

i’m happy that i’m grateful
and i’m grateful that i’m kind
you’ve got your own free will my devil
just as sure as i’ve got mine
you can live the life you want
if you can love the life you find
i’m happy that i’m grateful

you can live the life you want
if you can love the life you find
i’m happy and i’m grateful

yeah, but when you gonna be a folk star
my devil says to me
when you gonna be a folk star
