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
