Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Wipe the grease off my hands Empty out the coffee cans Twelve hundred bucks in singles Where the dust and oil mingles I’m closing up the shop tonight Heading for the morning light No more fixing broken gears I’m trading in these quiet years [Pre-Chorus] Seven hundred miles to go Radio playing way too slow I got the demo on a tape Making my grand escape Twelve hours on the interstate I refuse to be late [Chorus] I’m jumping on the riser I’m not getting any wiser Playing chords that make no sense Over every past defense Yeah, it’s loud and it’s dumb Watch me make the speakers hum I’m the dork I used to be And I’m finally feeling free [Hook] Whoa-oh, let it scream Whoa-oh, living out the dream [Verse] Walked into the gymnasium Smelling like linoleum The reunion’s looking stiff Time to give ‘em a heavy riff B3 organ starts to swell I’m breaking out of this shell Found my old guitar case With a smile across my face [Pre-Chorus] They didn’t put me on the list But I’m coming with a fuzzed-out twist Plug the cable in the jack There ain’t no turning back Watch the principal turn red I’m doing what I said [Chorus] I’m jumping on the riser I’m not getting any wiser Playing chords that make no sense Over every past defense Yeah, it’s loud and it’s dumb Watch me make the speakers hum I’m the dork I used to be And I’m finally feeling free [Bridge] It’s not for the girls who laughed Or the guys who played it craft It’s for the kid in oversized jeans Chasing all those messy scenes Just pure, uncool, electric heat Dancing on my own two feet Nothing left to prove tonight Underneath the gym-floor light [Solo] [Chorus] (I'm coming for the crown!) I’m jumping on the riser (Never getting wiser!) I’m not getting any wiser Playing chords that make no sense (Doesn't have to make sense!) Over every past defense Yeah, it’s loud and it’s dumb (So loud and so dumb!) Watch me make the speakers hum I’m the dork I used to be (That's just me!) And I’m finally feeling free [Post-Chorus] Feeling free, yeah Just look at me, yeah Uncool and proud Singing it out loud Let the fuzz ring out That’s what it’s about [Outro]
