It started with a dream.
You got your first guitar.
The world seemed so big and your mom told you you'd go far.
Locked yourself in your room.
Wrote those silly, little songs.
The same world was at your feet, and nothing could go wrong.

Forget the skeptics,
don't you mind those kids.
They don't really matter,
you know they never did.
Leave it all behind you,
don't forget to say, "So long."
And off into the horizons.
Just keep rockin' on.
Just keep rockin' on.

The next step was clear:
You started your first band.
A highschool group of friends, and foes, and teenage drunkin' fans.
Girls love boys who play guitar.
Now everybody knows your name.
From that moment on, you know you'd never be the same.

Forget the skeptics,
don't you mind those kids.
They don't really matter,
you know they never did.
Leave it all behind you,
don't forget to say, "So long."
And off into the horizons.
Just keep rockin' on.
Just keep rockin' on.

So look at you now.
It seems that mom was right.
And those silly, little songs aren't so silly anymore...
I hope you found what you were searching for.
What you were searching for.

Forget the skeptics,
don't you mind those kids.
They don't really matter,
you know they never did.
Leave it all behind you,
don't forget to say, "So long."
And off into the horizons.
Just keep rockin' on.
Just keep rockin' on...
