Badass High School Band Lyrics by Jay Smith

2025

[Verse 1]
Waking up golden hair
Tired eyes
Tiny footsteps running down the stairs
Wave goodbye through the kitchen window
Nothing gets me like your little hand
Saturday morning, mid-july
We sold some tickets and hey that's about time
You closed your business and school's out
Got off work for the summer
Now I'd start mine
[Chorus]
Promise to save the moments you can
I promise they ain't growing an inch over a weekend
Promise they won't be holding your hand
When they're too cool to be playing Spiderman
But if you learn one thing from your old man
Know that you're still young
When you're back in the tour van
Son you're never too old to get back on the road
With your badass high school band
[Verse 2]
Late night calls with friends and family
Kissing screens in hotel rooms
In between six strings and whiskey
I promise I will be home soon
I never thought that at fourteen
From Kurt Cobain and Primal Scream
That I'd meet your mother
And now I see that you and her
Were my big dream
[Chorus]
Promise to save the moments you can
I promise they ain't grown an inch over a weekend
Promise they won't be holding your hand
When they're too cool to be playing Spiderman
But if you learn one thing from your old man
Know that you're still young
When you're back in the tour van
Son you're never too old to get back on the road
With your badass high school band
[Bridge]
On the day that you throw
Your spotty suit out the wardrobe
Daddy still be playing cowboy
Somewhere out on the road
I hope you know
I hope you know
That you will always be my real hero
[Chorus]
Promise to save the moments you can
I promise they ain't grown an inch over a weekend
Promise they won't be holding your hand
When they're too cool to be playing Spiderman
But if you learn one thing from your old man
No you're never quite as cool
As when you're cool in a country band
Son you're never too old to get back on the road
With your badass high school band
