Anxious mother pleads come home dino

His dreams are in his motorcycle, swears he's gonna sort 'em out

His going barefoot, like the man with no name

I just wanna be someone, anyone 
A                E           D       A 
But I wanna be a star, for a week or two

Verse 2: 
Across the country he's been stealing cars 
Playing cat and mouse like a hero on d-day 
Shoeless boy this shotgun baby 
Running from the law likes it's a holiday 
He's a good boy, in his heart but a fool 
Don't wanna be a fugitive 
He'd rather be at home or in school 
 
Chorus 
 
Verse 3: 
Everywhere he reads give us dino 
We wanna know whats this death wish you're talking about 
He's cold, he's hungry and he's scared 
He's got his father on his mind and this message to get out 
I wanna steal, I wanna give, I wanna die, I wanna live 
I wanna find my own identity like any other teenage kid 
 
Chorus x2
