Gary Moore Teenage Idol Lyrics

He never did much good when he went to school
Too many teachers there were to many rules
A dirty face kid he was never outta trouble
His mom and papa told him better get out on the double
But when he heared that music on the radio
He knew one day he was gonna be a teenage idol

He quit his job in the factory
He was tired if makin' peanuts so 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 heared that music on the radio
He knew one day he was gonna be a teenage idol

He's a teenage idol
He knows how to rock and roll
A teenage idol
He's way out of control

He ditched 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
And now they're playing all his records on the radio
Ans everyone knows that he's gonna be a teenage idol

He's a teenage idol
He knows how to rock and roll
A teenage idol
He's way out of control

And now they're playing all his records on the radio
AnD everyone knows that he's gonna be a teenage idol
