I never was a straight-lace, straight A student
teacher'€™s pet or child prodigy
I wasn'€™t gonna get rich throwin'€™ a football
It take too long to get a law degree
So I sat down with momma and daddy
tried to talk some sense into my big head
But the best advice that I ever got
was from my sister'€™s rock star boyfriend
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you'€™re living in a world that you dont understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band, Start a band
And all those girls that were too cool to talk to,
They'€™ll be waiting in the line out back
Might get your picture in the hometown paper
Maybe buy your momma that Cadillac
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you'€™re living in a world that you don'€™t understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band, Scrape up some money, buy a van
Learn free bird and ramblin'€™ man
Never buy another beer again
Guitar
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Grow out your hair, come up with a name
With a little bit of luck you'€™ll be packing the stands
Find a few good buddies, start a band
No need to study, start a band
Call up some buddies man, start a band
Music till fade out
