Welcome Home

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be excited
About right now
We all wanna be number one
All I ever wanted was to be excited
About right now
We all wanna be number one
We all wanna be number one

[Verse 1]
When I said goodbye she had a tear in her eye
I'm like mama don't cry, your little boy got to fly
They say up in N.Y that's where it's goin' down
And I'm gonna have a million dollars when I get back in town
She said "You're just going through a phase, can't this be a hobby?"
I said "My friends say I'm dope even Charlie and Robbie"
We said our goodbyes and I boarded the plane
I was looking out the window at the wings as it rained
We taxied to the runway, I could hear the engine howlin'
Thew a prayer up in the air, felt the wheels leave the ground
The buildings and the cars and the towns were small as ants
I was destined for the unknown just lookin for a chance

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be excited
About right now
We all wanna be number one
All I ever wanted was to be excited
About right now
We all wanna be number one
We all wanna be number one

[Verse 2]
We landed at LaGuardia I grabbed my bags and stepped
Into the cold, the snow was falling I lit a cigarette
There was a million yellow taxis everybody seemed upset
A rugged voice from behind me asked me "Where you tryin to get?"
I said "The closest motel but no tellin' tomorrow"
He said "You must be from Atlanta"
I said "Georgia, how did you know?"
"I could tell from your accent
That you were from the south"
Threw my luggage in the trunk
He said "Get it" and we pulled out
Into the sirens and the honking horns
The hustle and the bustle
And the traffic that's when he said
"Welcome to the Jungle"
I looked up at all the buildings
Until we got to the mot-
Before we left he said "I hope you find
What you're lookin' for"

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be excited
About right now
We all wanna be number one
All I ever wanted was to be excited
About right now
We all wanna be number one
We all wanna be number one

[Bridge]
Then a nineteen year old kid in a motel room in New York
Dug his cellie out his pocket called his parents to report
He was alive and doin' well and doin' fine when he got off the phone
He sat down on the corner of the bed all alone
With the TV on the volume mute he grabbed his pen and pad
And jotted down ideas about some things that he wanted so bad
That he would risk it all to get 'em and it wasn't very long
He was asleep and right beside him lay the lyrics to a song called

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to be excited
About right now
We all wanna be number one
All I ever wanted was to be excited (All he ever wanted)
About right now
We all wanna be number one
All I ever wanted was to be excited (All he ever wanted)
About right now
We all wanna be number one
All I ever wanted was to be excited (All he ever wanted)
About right now
We all wanna be number one
We all wanna be number one
