Teenage Rockstars

We were kids, we played with matches
 Well we grew up, we started bands
 Yeah, we skipped school, but played the dances
 And when we started making fans
 We blew off college, toured the country in a van
 And sometimes at the grocery store,
 The people say they knew me back when
 We were teenage rockstars
 Made our hometown proud
 When we were teenage rockstars
 We taught ourselves to play
 And we played loud
 We signed a deal and made some records
 Sold out shows and married young
 The money came, we started fighting
 We partied hard, and had our fun
 We blew off deadlines, and forgot to call our friends
 And sometimes at the shopping mall,
 The people say they knew me back when
 We were teenage rockstars
 Made our fathers proud
 When we were teenage rockstars
 We taught ourselves to play, and we played loud
 Ooh la la laa la la
 La la laa la la...
 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 parents' living room, where all of this began
 And when I leave the shows these days
 The people say they knew me back when
 We were teenage rockstars
 So young and so strong out
 When we were teenage rockstars
 We taught ourselves to play, we took the stage
 And we played loud
 Ooh la la laa la la, la la laa la la
 Ooh la la la la
 Ooh la la laa la la, la la laa la la
 Ooh la la la ooh la ooh
