thank you in advance - "guitar" tim Title: Re: i would like to know the lyrics to "play guitar"... Post by: walktall2010 on May 27, 2011, 12:28:05 pm Lyrics are below. The line you are referring to is just a bunch of nonsense lyrics. John has said in interviews that he couldn't come up with anything there that he liked so he just kind of mumbled into the mic.
Play Guitar Written by Dan Ross, John Mellencamp and Larry Crane You may drive around your town In a brand new shiny car Your face in the wind and your haircut's in 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 (Chorus) 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 seventeen But you know that you're 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 (Chorus) 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 want to score tonight Ra da ra da ra da You really want to show your scars Forget all about that macho shit And learn how to play guitar |
