Start a Band Lyrics
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
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
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, 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
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 packing the stands
Find a few good buddies, start a band
No need to study, start a band
Call up some buddies man, and start a band
Teacher's pet or child prodigy
I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football
It take too long to get a law degree
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
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, start a band
They'll be waiting in the line out back
Might get your picture in the hometown paper
Maybe buy your momma that Cadillac
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
Learn 'Free Bird' and 'Ramblin' Man'
Never buy another beer again
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
Call up some buddies man, and start a band
