Brad Paisley - Start a Band lyrics

I never was a straight-laced straight-A student Teacher's pet or child prodigy I wasn't gonna get rich throwing a football It'd take too long to get a law degree So I sat down with Mama 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 and 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 Now all those girls that were too cool to talk to They'll be waiting in a line out back Might get your picture in the hometown paper Maybe buy your mama that Cadillac 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 don't understand Find a few good buddies and 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 and 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 Well, find a few good buddies, start a band No need to study, start a band Call up some buddies, man, and start a band
