Brad Paisley Start A Band Lyrics

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 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
