Stupid Kid

[Verse 1]

I was living at home with my folks

As you do when you're fifteen

It was Saturday, I was staying up late

When I saw him on my TV screen

There he was playing guitar

Harmonics over Harvest Moon

Sittin' on a stool, didn't have a band

Just some dude sweepin' a broom

[Refrain]

Oh, it looks so easy that even a stupid kid like me could do it

[Verse 2]

Oh, I picked up my guitar and Epiphone

And I dropped the E to D

I learned the words, I wrote 'em down

And I tried to sing it simply

And in the living room, I gathered 'em around

Mom and dad to hear me sing

Well, they seemed to love it, they said it was great

But that's what they said about everything

[Refrain]

Oh, it looks so easy that even a stupid kid like me could do it

[Verse 3]

Oh, I bought the record, I put it on

But it didn't sound like what I'd seen

A full-on production with background singers

Oh, it had a sort of hollowed sheen

But after time I learned to love it

Yeah, the studio version grew on me

In fact, that's the version that ended up a-going on

My Best of 90s mix CD

[Bridge]

Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na

Na-na, na-na, na-na

[Outro]

Woah, I gave that CD to her

And she left me that summer

Woah, I gave that CD to her

And she left me that summer
