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
