Play Guitar
You may drive around your town
In a brand new shiny car
Your face in the wind and your haircut's in
Your friends think you're bizarre
You may find a cushy job
And I hope that you go far
But if you really want to taste some cool success
You better learn to play guitar
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Well, you got your eyes on the cheerleader queen
And you're walkin' her home from school
You know that she's only 17
But you know she's gonna make you a fool
And you know you can't touch that stuff
Without money or a brand-new car
Let me give you some good advice, young man
You better learn to play guitar
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
All women around the world want a phony rock star
Who plays guitar
Well, you pump your iron and shine your shoes
And wear your hair just right
You go down out on cruisin' street
'Cause you wanna score tonight
We all grab our stocking this time
You really wanna show your scars
Forget all about that macho shit
And learn how to play guitar
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
In a brand new shiny car
Your face in the wind and your haircut's in
Your friends think you're bizarre
You may find a cushy job
And I hope that you go far
But if you really want to taste some cool success
You better learn to play guitar
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Well, you got your eyes on the cheerleader queen
And you're walkin' her home from school
You know that she's only 17
But you know she's gonna make you a fool
And you know you can't touch that stuff
Without money or a brand-new car
Let me give you some good advice, young man
You better learn to play guitar
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
All women around the world want a phony rock star
Who plays guitar
Well, you pump your iron and shine your shoes
And wear your hair just right
You go down out on cruisin' street
'Cause you wanna score tonight
We all grab our stocking this time
You really wanna show your scars
Forget all about that macho shit
And learn how to play guitar
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
