I shoulda never sold my Les Paul
I shoulda never let it outta my sight
I shoulda never sold my Les Paul
A sunburst ‘85, somehow made me more alive
Once you start letting go
You lose the rock, you start gettin’ old
Shoulda never sold my Les Paul
I never let it outta my heart
I wish I still had that black denim coat
Sewn up with patches from every punk rock show
Cause you don’t know love till you give it away
And that rustbucket tour van I think about it every day
But you can't go back once you take that job
Get a wife and two kids and a pool in the yard
Shoulda never sold my Les Paul
I never let it outta my heart
At the pawn shop, every Saturday
The old man there shakes his head
But I can't stop searching for my youth
For that sound, for my friends
For the life I shoulda had instead
I shoulda never sold my Les Paul
I shoulda never let it outta my sight
I shoulda never sold that Les Paul
A sunburst ‘85, somehow made me more alive
Once you start letting go
You lose the rock, you start gettin’ old
Shoulda never sold my Les Paul
I shoulda never sold that sunburst Les Paul
I shoulda never sold my Les Paul
I never let it outta my heart
Never let it outta my heart

All The Other Kids

All the other kids got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
All the other kids got Mario on NES
All the other kids, they’ve got it all but could care less
Well, that’s the other kids
That ain’t me
All the other kids are rockin’ brand new AirWalk sneakers
And all the other kids watch Toy Story 2 on DVD
All the other kids’ moms bought them anything they want
That’s the other kids
That ain’t me
Saturdays, my mom and me, we hit the yard sale scene
And we find the things the rich kids throw away
It’s a quarter for two Matchbox cars
A dime for every baseball card
A dollar for that knock-off brand guitar
Saturdays are still my day to hit the yard sale scene
And to find the things the rich kids throw away
I got Mario and Space Jam Pogs
I got AirWalk kicks and Lego blocks
Teenage Mutant Turtles just today!
All the other kids are buying houses in the suburbs
All the other kids are driving brand new SUVs
All the other kids, they think they’ve got it all
But that’s the other kids
That’s the other kids
No that ain’t me
