Lonestar "Always in the Band" |
(Richie McDonald/Ron Harbin/Jerry Vandiver) High school half-time Friday night Standing on the fifty-yard line With a big ol' red and gold tuba in my hands I could see Katie Anne in the popcorn line Couldn't see how to make her mine I was always in the band. At eighteen I found a cheap guitar Became Seger and Willie in a smokey bar Bared my soul behind a rusty old mike stand I'd get her name and number on my second break Watch someone dance my chance away I was always in the band. Sometimes this dream demands more than I can give it But even still I don't regret a single minute, oh To hear you laugh, to feel your pain To see a thousand waving flames It's just a part of me, that's who I am I was always in the band. Met her backstage before a show, Las Vegas rodeo Three months later I asked her for her hand We tied the knot on the sixth of June Would have had a honeymoon But I was always in the band. Left Dallas on the way to Omaha Around Topeka when I got the call Baby's coming, honey get here when you can Yeah I guess I should have turned that bus around But I'd a let thirty thousand people down I was always in the band. Sometimes this dream demands more than I can give it But even still I don't regret a single minute, oh To hear you laugh, to feel your pain To see a thousand waving flames It's just a part of me, thank God she understands I was always in the band. I was always in the band... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
