Gary Moore - Teenage Idol lyrics

Never did much good when he went to school
Too many teachers, there were too many rules
A dirty faced kid, he was never outta trouble
His Mom and Poppa told him better
Get out on the double
But when he heard that music on the radio
He knew one day he was
Gonna be a teenage idol

He quit his job at the factory
He was tired of makin' peanuts
So he jumped out of the tree
He couldn't wait another day to
Get out of that place
He punched the clock, and he broke it's face
But when he heard that guitar on the radio
He knew one day he was
Gonna be a teenage idol teenage idol
He is a teenage idol
He knows how to rock and roll
A teenage idol, he's way out of control yeah

He dumped his chick and he sold his car
He bought himself a hot guitar
He joined a band and they cut some tracks
He hit the road and he's never looked back
Oh no and now they're playing all his
Records on the radio and everybody knows
He's gonna be a teenage idol wow

He is a teenage idol
He knows how to rock and roll
A teenage idol, he's way out of control
He's just a teenage idol
He knows how to rock and roll
He's a teenage idol, he's way out of control

And now they're playing all his
Records on the radio
Everybody knows that he's gonna
Be a teenage idol teenage idol

He is a teenage idol
He knows how to rock and roll
He's just a teenage idol
He's way out of control he's a teenage idol
He knows how to rock and roll
A teenage idol, he's way out of control

We're talking about a teenage idol
You know what I mean
He might be in your town next week
So just look out
Get those tickets while they're hot
