Teenage Rockstars

[Verse 1]

We were kids we played with matches

While we grew up we started bands

Yeah we skipped school but played the dances

And well, we started making fans...

We blew off college

Toured the country in a van

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Now sometimes at the grocery store

The people say they knew me back when

[Chorus 1]

We were teenage rockstars

Made our hometown proud

When we were teenage rockstars

We taught ourselves to play

And we played loud

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Now sometimes at the shopping mall

The people say they knew me back when

[Chorus 2]

We were teenage rockstars

Made our fathers proud

When we were teenage rockstars

We taught ourselves to play

And we played loud

[Verse 3]

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 parent's living room where all of this began

[Pre-Chorus 3]

And when I leave the shows these days

The people say they knew me back when

[Chorus 3]

We were teenage rockstars

So young and so strung out

When we were teenage rockstars

We taught ourselves to play

We took the stage, and we played loud
