Start A Band

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.

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.
