Keith, check this out, just learnt it

Wait, wait
Oh man, sweet, sweet, check this one out too, hang on, hang on

Oh man, I hate that

I never was a straight-laced, straight-A student
Teacher's pet or child prodigy
I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football
It'd 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 an' 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 an' 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 an' 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
