bobby pinson – 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 d-mned 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,
b-ss 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.
