[Verse 1]
Laurel to Sunset, freeway to Culver
Racin' my MG down to MGM
Sittin' in make-up tryin' to wake up
Gotta be on the set at eight A.M

[Bridge]
For one more day of make believin'
One more day of playin' the star
One more day of endless pretendin'
Do ya know who you are?

[Chorus]
Where is the guy from Wheelin' West Virginia
Why did he have to roam
So far away from Wheelin' West Virginia
Thousands of miles from home

[Verse 2]
Lawyers' fees and agents' commission
Everybody's waitin' to be fed
Uncle Sam is right there beside you
Come on boy, ya got to make the bread

[Bridge]
For one more day of make believin'
One more day of playin' the star
One more day of endless pretendin'
Do ya know who you are?
