Eighteen - Rome

Got a half pack of cigarettes, forty dollars to my name

A box full of old cassettes, of all the songs I can’t forget

I borrowed all I could, I’ll take the rest

I’ll make up my own rules to break success

Yeah, there’s no better time to run away

If tomorrow never comes, I’m here today

Cause I was eighteen with a stupid dream

You told me, don’t believe but I know better

I’m ready more than ever now

Eighteen with too much self-esteem

You told me, don’t believe but I know better

I’m ready more than ever now

Stumbled in to Hollywood, it’s snowing with the cocaine

No one’s up to any good, so I’ma find my own way

I borrowed all I could, I’ll take the rest

I’ll make up my own rules to break success

Yeah, there’s no better time to run away

If tomorrow never comes, I’m here today

Cause I was eighteen with a stupid dream

You told me, don’t believe but I know better

I’m ready more than ever now

Eighteen with too much self-esteem

You told me, don’t believe but I know better

I’m ready more than ever now

I might have nothing but I want it all

Something I made, something to call my own

You say I’m trippin' but I know it’s real

I’m gonna get it;

beg, borrow, or steal

Cause I was eighteen with a stupid dream

You told me, don’t believe but I know better

I’m ready more than ever now

Eighteen with a stupid dream

You told me, don’t believe but I know better

I’m ready more than ever now

Eighteen with too much self-esteem

You told me, don’t believe but I know better

I’m ready more than ever now
