I Followed Those Highway Signs

Say A Prayer For The Pretender, Who Started Out So Young And Strong Only To Surrender.

And My Dad Wanted Me To Play The Trumpet Because That's What He Liked. His Idol Was Louis Armstrong. My Dad Thought My Teeth Came Together In A Way That Was Perfect For Playing The Trumpet.

I Started Playing The Trumpet When I Was About Eight.

Now, Guitar Was Pretty Cool. Everybody Knew Something On The Guitar. So I Wanted To Play Guitar, But I Told My Dad If He Wanted Me To Keep Studying Something, Id Like To Study Piano.

The First To Come And The Last To Go, Working For That Minimum Wage.
