Mom and dad didn't raise a fool I taught myself how to break the rules Scared to death they would lose me way too soon I set out to see the world Fell in love with a beautiful girl Had a few that will carry me when I fall Don't waste your life Don't fear the end Let it begin Spend your time Chasing stars A guitar and a microphone The only tools I have ever known Let my life write the words on every song Living is a luxury So try to find just a little more peace I'm leaving with a smile when I'm done Don't waste your life Don't fear the end Let it begin Spend your time Chasing stars Don't waste your life Don't fear the end Let it begin Spend your time Chasing stars Chasing stars You'll never know Just how the story goes Let it begin Don't waste your life Don't fear the end Let it begin Spend your time Chasing stars Don't waste your life Don't fear the end Let it begin Spend your time Chasing stars Chasing stars Chasing stars Chasing stars
