Rockstars
Kane Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We take a drive just to sing along
Every word of them Rolling Stones
Stacy's mom had it going on
Lived three doors down I can see her now
Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free
If you blink 182 then you'd miss me and her
Every verse had a story
Yeah, them pocket lighter nights lit up our days of glory

Back when the air guitars were the only sound
And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down
Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town
Had that rearview shakin' to the kickdrum beat
Leaning West Coast deep in the bucket seats
All I ever wanted was right there in that car
Back when we were rockstars
Back when we were rockstars

Nothin' like freedom two windows down you singin' along still hear it now
Way too loud and sometimes off key, but just sounding like an angel to me
You'd make fun of how I threw my head, threw my fingers up in the air
Thought I was Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Page
You were side seat center stage

Back when the air guitars were the only sound
And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down
Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town
Had that rearview shakin' to the kickdrum beat
Leaning West Coast deep in the bucket seats
All I ever wanted was right there in that car
Back when we were rockstars
Back when we were rockstars

We never ended up on the MTV
Or heard our voices on a CD
But in your eyes and in my arms
We were each other's rockstar

Back when the air guitars were the only sound
And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down
Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town
Had that rearview shakin' to the kickdrum beat
Leaning West Coast deep in the bucket seats
All I ever wanted was right there in that car
Back when we were rockstars
Yeah, back when we were rockstars
Back when we were rockstars
You and me were rockstars
Oh yeah

Yeah, we were runnin' all night
Chasing down a dream




Howling at the moon
Baby, you and me
