Teenage Idol - Gary Moore

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 making 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 its 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
