VERSE 1
Straight from the garage to the show
And soon enough to your stereo
We're just those kids who like to rock
Fresh out of school, we broke the rules
Played anywhere it's cool
So come on out you kids who like to rock
CHORUS
There's just no way we can't have fun
Or at least not until we're done
And we're so self-assured cuz
We know where it comes from
(repeat)

VERSE 2
Hanging out with friends in the hood
You know we're always up to no good
So one day we decided to rock
Practiced day and night, get it right
But never without a fight, once or twice
We hit the streets so we could rock

VERSE 3
Now we're here to rock for you
And we know who we owe it all to




So come on out you kids who like to rock
Cuz we're just those kids who like to rock

Definitely captured the essence of this pedal! Great demo, Andy!

Mike Martin

great playing....great tones...Animals is an epic album and you definitely killed that lead tone!

Andy even tuned his guitar down a whole step just to nail that Dogs solo.  How badass is that!

PrehistoricBeasts

After that Dogs solo, Andy, for me, became a legend.

Really diggin the PF solo.  Been watching you for years and you really nailed it there.

Brad Carroll

Yes he did. You can tell he didn't just learn that solo for this video! He's been perfecting that for years, as I have. That's probably my favorite guitar solo period. I love to cover that song at a gig with my Victoria tweed style amp about to explode. It brings the tone.

Nicolas Rivera

Dude, you killed it with Dogs, amazing!!!!well done!.

Rob Clancy
