my nerves were pumping
man i really didn't know what to expect
i had my boots on and my braces all in check

[Chorus]
playing to live and living play [4x]

i was only 13 heading into town that day
i felt a part of all the rockers in the train
so i told Andy T. and he told me i was wrong
it ain't the fashion but the passion that makes you strong

[Repeat chorus]
