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]

And sometimes at the grocery store

The people say they knew me back when

[Chorus]

We were teenage rockstars

Made our hometown proud

When we were teenage rockstars

We taught ourselves to play

And we'd play it loud

[Verse 2]

We signed a deal and made some records

Sold out shows and married young

The money came, we started fading

We partied hard and had our fun

We blew off deadlines and forgot to call our friends

[Pre-Chorus]

And sometimes at the shopping mall

The people say they knew me back when

[Chorus]

We were teenage rockstars

Made our fathers proud

When we were teenage rockstars

We taught ourselves to play

And we'd play it loud

[Bridge]

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]

And when I leave the shows these days

The people say they knew me back when

[Chorus]

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
