Started A Band lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Started A Band lyrics 32 count Intro I turned sixteen got a brand new six-string Haggard and Hank, Sting and Springsteen, Peelin the paint every chance I got. Daddy said "You re pretty good, but it s tough out there, Now Stairway To Heaven won t get ya anywhere, Otta cut your hair, and get a real job." Chorus 1: So I started a band, and we got out of dodge, In a Dodge van with no exhaust, Got high off the fumes, but we played our tunes, Ain t no one gonna say I can t, Yeah, I started a band, stared a band. Started a band and I met a girl, Sang my songs and rocked her world, Goin strong but out of the blue one day, She said "I can t love a music man", So I dropped my dream and sold my amp, But I ll be damned if she didn t leave me anyway. Chorus 2: So I stared a band, with a couple new guys, We played those same ol dives. Yeah, we never sold gold, okay, we never sold, Ain t no one gonna say I can t, Yeah, I started a band, started a band, But the lead picker always played too loud, And him and the drummer had a fallin out, Bass man stayed out of it and just got drunk, I was Nashville bound, my dreams were bigger, I knocked em out they just couldn t pull the trigger, And that s Nashville speak for I stunk, as a solo man. Chorus 3: So I started a band, we play what we like, On a stage that s eight feet wide, But I got my pride, and I got my van, I kept who I am, I started a band, Started a band, can t get this guitar out my hand, Yeah I started a band. song lyrics
