My mother hangs the washing and my father has jobs to ignore The weekend that has come is the same as the weekend before And if I bust out and the highway is really the key Everyone can follow, everyone can overtake me I don't need no fame Well I'm going to write a novel that is set a hundred years ago The custom and the carriage or the people well I don't know It doesn't really matter if you can't exactly recall Some people rise while others are happy to fall I don't need no fame I know I'm going to make it, going to do it all on my own I can't talk now gotta get off the phone And if I bust out and the highway is really the key Everyone can follow, everyone can overtake me I don't need no fame
