Lyrics
When I was a kid, I played guitar for hours on end Down in the basement where the radio and records were my friends My folks didn't like it much, I was breakin' all the rules 'Cause drummin' on the desk and hummin' to myself wasn't their idea of school They kept talkin' about grown up children Playin', singin' Never doing what they're told Grown up children Actin' like they'll never grow old Though I was underage, I joined the band at the local bar Pretty soon we hit the road as the warm-up for some fading star And they said, "now keep the set short, don't play that so loud" So we plugged our guitars in and turned them up to ten And jumped right into the crowd 'Cause we were just grown up children Playin', singin' Never doing what they're told Grown up children Actin' like they'll never grow old It's good work if you can get it 'Cause you don't have to act your age In real life, I'm known as a family man But tonight, I'm a kid on the stage One of those grown up children Playin', singin' Never doing what they're told Grown up children Actin' like they'll never grow old Grown up children Playin', singin' Never doing what they're told Grown up children Actin' like they'll never grow old Grown up children Playin', singin' Never doing what they're told Grown up children Actin' like they'll never grow old
