Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never was a straight laced, straight A student
Teacher's pet or child prodigy
I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football
It'd take too long to get a law degree
[Verse 2]
So I sat down with mama and daddy
They tried to talk some sense into my thick head
But the best advice that I ever got
Was from my sister's rock star boyfriend
[Verse 3]
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you're livin' in a world that you don't understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band, start a band
[Verse 4]
And all those girls that were too cool to talk to
They'll be waitin' in the line out back
Might get your picture in the hometown paper
Maybe buy your mama that Cadillac
[Verse 5]
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you're livin' in a world that you don't understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
[Verse 6]
Start a band, scrape up some money
Buy a van, learn Free Bird and Ramblin' Man
Never buy another beer again
[Verse 7]
So 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 packin' the stands
Find a few good buddies, start a band
[Verse 8]
No need to study, start a band
Call up some buddies, man, and start a band
