歌曲歌詞

When I was a kid,

I was best at whatever

I didWhen

I was a kid,

I was smart at the top of the class

When I was a lad,

I was sure,

I had the world in my hands

I was my own teacher,

I had my own plan

I could have been an athlete could have trained all the time

Been just like the others could have left them behind

But I was too lazy,

I could not see ahead

All I thought of was music that was filling my head

I could have been a painter painting life in a rush

All I saw in a day on canvas with my brush

But I was just painting my life in a song

Getting all the chords right, getting all the words wrong

I could have been a writer with a back catalog

Full of stories of crimes, *** and beer, girls and drugs

But instead

I was writing my first song so bad

On the cheapest guitar that the music store had'

Cos instead

I strummed on guitars

Instead I wasted my time

And I strummed on guitars

I could have been a lawyer defending some guy

With a paycheck so big for my heart paid to lie

But instead

I was keeping the truth to myself

In the records,

I placed one by one on my shelf

I could have been a champion, man of the year

Wave to the crowd as they scream and cheer

But here I am playing to people sat down

Nursing their beers while

I play the clown

And instead

I strummed on guitars

Instead I wasted my time

And I strummed on guitars

I could have been a racing car driver speed mad

Seeking the thrills that my youth never had

But instead

I was busy enjoying my age

With teen punk rock anthems and hearts paid to rage

I could have been a scientist, doctor or man

With a stethoscope diagnosing ladies' old hands

But instead

I built fret-callous fingertip scars

On my ten year old hands meant for toy ships and cars

And instead

I strummed on guitars

Instead I wasted my time

Strummed on guitars

I could have been so much

But I wasted my time on useless guitars

I could have been so much

But I'm not and

I'm glad and

I'm glad'Cos when

I was a kid

I was best at whatever

I did
