Always In The Band

歌詞

High school halftime Friday night Standing on the fifty yard line Big old blue and gold tuba in my hand I could see Katie Ann 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 Seeger and Willie in a smokey bar And bared my soul behand a rusty old mic stand I get her name and number on a 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 Woulda had a honeymoon But I was always in the band Left Dallas on the way to Omaha Round Topeka when I got the call Baby's coming honey get here when you can Yeah I guess I shoulda turned that bus around I'da let 30,000 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
