Joe Bachman Small Town Rock Stars lyrics

We got the free beer, we got the pretty girls
The strip college bars was our whole world
I bought a Red Strat, 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

(chorus)
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 'em "Jessie's Girl" and "Margaritaville"
We got Skynyrd requests on twenty dollar bills

We cranked a little Hank, held out the microphone
We asked 'em, "why they drank?"
They yelled "TO GET DRUNK"
We "Poured Some Sugar" and "Shook 'Em All Night Long"
Keep playing til they turned the lights on

(chorus)

Good times that don't get any better
At least the nights I remember

(chorus)
