John Alexander, age 22
Bought it off some guy my cousin knew
My eyes are brown his eyes were blue
But there ain't no kinda trouble he couldn't get me into
John Alexander, age 22
Walked right up to that counter with a sixpack of brew
The man didn't look twice when I showed him my proof
I was John Alexander, age 22
(CHORUS)
John Alexander
Gave me the chance
To hit all the cool bars and hear all the hot bands
He took me to the places where the pretty girls dance
Helped me to grow up a little too fast
The invisible boy became instantly cool
To all kids on the hill and the cheerleaders too
Friday night was a party as long as you knew
Ol' John Alexander, age 22
Well I couldn't pretend it was him and not me
Who wrapped my daddy's truck round that tree
I walked away without a scratch but that night I was through
With John Alexander, age 22
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I found John Alexander, age 22
In the back of my closet in an old track shoe
There's a lot of good times I barely lived though
With John Alexander, age 22
