Small Town Rock Stars - Joe Bachman We got the free beer We got the pretty girls The strip college bars Was our whole world I bought a red Stars Thought I was Springsteen We had a strobe light flashing Through a smoke machine We cranked it up to eleven It was one big party every weekend Yeah we never got too far Except with the girls dancing on the bar Yeah might never hit the charts But man We were big time small town rock stars We played them Jessie's girl And Margaritaville We got Skynyrd requests on twenty dollar bills We cranked a little hank Held out the microphone We asked them Why they drank They yelled To get drunk We poured some sugar And shook them all night long Keep playing till they turned the lights on Yeah we never got too far Except with the girls dancing on the bar Yeah might never hit the charts But man We were big time small town rock stars Good times that don't get any better At least the nights I remember Yeah we never got too far Except with the girls dancing on the bar Yeah might never hit the charts But man We were big time small town rock stars We were big time Small town rock stars
