Lyrics Play Guitar (Live) - John Mellencamp

You may drive around your town
In a brand new shiny car
Your face in the wind and your haircut′s in
And your friends think you're bizarre

You may find a cushy job and I hope
That you go far but if you really want to
Taste some cool success
You better learn to play guitar

Play guitar, play guitar, play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar, play guitar, play guitar, oh yeah

You got your eyes on the cheerleader queen
And you′re walkin' her home from school
You know that she's only seventeen
But you know thatyou a fool

You know you can′t touch that stuff
Without money or a brand new car
Let me give you some good advice young man
You better learn to play guitar

Play guitar, play guitar, play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar, play guitar, play guitar, oh yeah

All women around the world
Want a phony rock star who plays guitar

Pump your iron and shine your shoes
And wear your hair just right
You go down out on cruisin′ street
'Cause you want to score tonight

And you really want to show your scars
Forget all about that macho shit
And learn how to play guitar

Play guitar, play guitar, play guitar, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Play guitar, play guitar, play guitar, oh yeah
