Young & Stupid

back when I was young and stupid I really wanted to be a big famous rock star just like Jim Morrison or Jimi Hendricks I would give anything just for the chance to have long hair and wear tight jeans play Madison Square Gardens and have hordes of pretty girls throwing underwear at me but now that I’m old and pathetic I just can’t see myself with long hair dressed in jeans and a leather jacket holding onto an electric guitar and threatening to throw a TV set out of a hotel window somehow the years have caught up with me and the sound of rock music no longer drives me to madness I’m terrified to even look at myself for fear of seeing my parents but as long as I’m alive then there’s still a chance to act crazy and get naked just because I’m growing old doesn’t mean I have to stop being young and stupid *Penned by Scarecrow Joe
