John Mellencamp Play Guitar song lyrics

You may drive around your town

In a brand new shiny car

Your face in the wind and your haircut's in

And 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

You got your eyes on the cheerleader queen

And you're walkin' her home from school

You know that she's only seventeen

But you know that[Incomprehensible] you a fool

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

[Incomprehensible] pump your iron and shine your shoes

And wear your hair just right

You go down out on cruisin' street

'Cause you want to score tonight

[Incomprehensible]

And you really want to 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
