I remember back in school I wasn't all that cool
I only cared about one thing
While the jocks were throwin' passes
I was teaching classes
All I wanted was to play my own six string
I spent a few nights alone
But I learned every song on the radio

Now, I'm the life of the party
Everybody knows if you bring me a beer
I'm gonna sing you a song
I make campfires better
Bring everyone together
No, I may never be a rockstar
But, hey, I can play guitar
I said hey!
I can play guitar

It always saves me when it comes to the ladies
I've never been great with words
But when I open up my case and tear the roof off the place
My guitar does the talkin'
To all the pretty girls

I'm the life of the party
Everybody knows if you bring me a beer
I'm gonna sing you a song
I make campfires better
Bring everyone together
No, I may never be a rockstar
But, hey, I can play guitar
I said hey!
I can go full throttle
Play dust on a bottle
I can strum "Freefallin'" with these
Yeah, I've been known to break a string
When I get a little crazy
But let me be clear
I ain't no Brad Paisley
Uh, huh, but this guy thinks he is

I'm the life of the party
Everybody knows if you bring me a beer
Heh, I'mma play all night
I make campfires better
Bring everyone together
No, I may never be a rockstar
But, hey, I can play guitar
I said hey!
I can play guitar
Now here we go
Aw, take that!
Hey! I can play guitar
Hey! I can play guitar
