Teenage Rockstars

We were kids, we played with matches Well we grew up, we started bands Yeah, we skipped school, but played the dances And when we started making fans We blew off college, toured the country in a van And sometimes at the grocery store, The people say they knew me back when We were teenage rockstars Made our hometown proud When we were teenage rockstars We taught ourselves to play And we played loud We signed a deal and made some records Sold out shows and married young The money came, we started fighting We partied hard, and had our fun We blew off deadlines, and forgot to call our friends And sometimes at the shopping mall, The people say they knew me back when We were teenage rockstars Made our fathers proud When we were teenage rockstars We taught ourselves to play, and we played loud Ooh la la laa la la La la laa la la... And now I sit at this piano I watch my daughter in the yard I think about those days in high school My best friend playing his guitar In my parents' living room, where all of this began And when I leave the shows these days The people say they knew me back when We were teenage rockstars So young and so strong out When we were teenage rockstars We taught ourselves to play, we took the stage And we played loud Ooh la la laa la la, la la laa la la Ooh la la la la Ooh la la laa la la, la la laa la la Ooh la la la ooh la ooh
