 A
After school I know the rules, do my chores in a hurry

I close my door, turn on my amp, and plug in my guitar

I'm a rockstar (Rockstar)

Hear me play

Me, I smell success along with Mama's fryin' chicken
         A                  A
Dad storms in my room, unplugs my amp and starts his bitchin'
        A                    A
But to their sorrow, I'll just do the same dang thing tomorrow

I'm standing on the stage now and I thank God every day
      A       C           D        C
My folks dancin' in the aisle, screaming out, "Hey, that's our child"
    A            C        D
Jerry Reed would say, "Yeah, right," now they claim me
