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 1] Now sometimes at the grocery store The people say they knew me back when [Chorus 1] We were teenage rockstars Made our hometown proud When we were teenage rockstars We taught ourselves to play And we played loud [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] Now sometimes at the shopping mall The people say they knew me back when [Chorus 2] We were teenage rockstars Made our fathers proud When we were teenage rockstars We taught ourselves to play And we played loud [Verse 3] 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 3] And when I leave the shows these days The people say they knew me back when [Chorus 3] 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
