Lyrics
I never was a straight-lace, straight A student
The narrator wasn't a conventional, high-achieving student.
Teacher's pet or child prodigy
They weren't the teacher's favorite or exceptionally gifted as a child.
I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football
They didn't foresee making money by playing football.
It take too long to get a law degree
Pursuing a law degree seemed too time-consuming.
So I sat down with momma and daddy
The narrator had a discussion with their parents.
They tried to talk some sense into my thick head
The parents tried to advise the narrator.
But the best advice that I ever got
The most impactful advice came from the sister's boyfriend, who was a rock star.
Was from my sister's rock star boyfriend
Suggestion to get a guitar and learn to play.
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Advice to customize jeans and create a band name.
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
Encouragement to navigate a confusing world.
When you're living in a world that you don't understand
Recommendation to form a band with good friends.
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Reiteration of starting a band for success.
Start a band, start a band
Emphasis on the importance of starting a band.
And all those girls that were too cool to talk to,
Expectation that previously uninterested girls will show interest.
They'll be waiting in the line out back
Girls may line up to meet the band.
Might get your picture in the hometown paper
Possibility of local fame and potential luxury for family.
Maybe buy your momma that Cadillac
Linking success to playing guitar and learning.
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Repetition of advice regarding jeans and band name.
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
Encouragement to form a band despite confusion in the world.
When you're living in a world that you don't understand
Emphasis on the band's importance for success.
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Reiteration to form a band and acquire a van.
Start a band, scrape up some money, buy a van
Learning specific songs for recognition and free drinks.
Learn 'Free Bird' and 'Ramblin' Man'
Assurance of never needing to purchase beer.
Never buy another beer again
Continued advice on playing guitar and appearance.
So get you a guitar and learn how to play
Growing hair out and forming a band for potential success.
Grow out your hair, come up with a name
Optimism about filling up venues with fans.
With a little bit of luck you'll be packing the stands
Importance of forming a band without the need for traditional studying.
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Encouragement to gather friends and start a band.
No need to study, start a band
Explicit direction to begin a band without hesitation.
Call up some buddies man, and start a band
Final prompt to call friends and initiate a band.
