Teenage Rockstars Video (MV)

We were kids, we played with matches
Well we grew up, we started bands
Yeah we skipped school, but played the dances
When we started making fans

We blew off college, toured the country in a van
Sometimes at the grocery store, the people say they knew me back when

We were teenage rockstars
Made our hometown proud
When we were teenage rockstars
We taught ourselves to play
And we played loud

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
Sometimes at the shopping mall, the people say they knew me back when

We were teenage rockstars
Made our fathers proud
When we were teenage rockstars
We taught ourselves to play
And we played loud

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 parents' living room, where all of this began
And when I leave the shows these days, the people say they knew me back when

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
