Start A Band (Featuring Keith Urban)

I never was a straight laced straight A student
Teachers pet or child prodigy
I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football
I'd take to 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 sisters rock-star boyfriend

Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When your livin' in a world that you don't understand
Find a few good buddies, 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 a 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 your livin' 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 band, learn free bird and rambling man
Never buy a beer again

So get you a guitar and learn how to play
Grow out your hair, come look 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 start a band
