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
