slim dunlap - ballad of the opening band (alternate version) lyrics

[verse 1]
well, it′s after nine, bar time, in any bar usa
the bartender yells to the band “hey get up there and play”
little bit out of tune, they slowly fall in
as the chords ring out, and the nighttime roars to life, it’s only but a dream
well it’s just an empty bar, that′s right
but you’re the opener tonight

[verse 2]
not the dream world of every little opening band
it soon gets shattered when the headliner takes command
you feel the fleet of fame in a night
and as the latest local hero shoots you a wink
you sit there thinking, “oh my god did we stink?”
is there only one shot to a night
when you’re the opener, that′s right

[verse 3]
well, the night is almost over, and the place is sure a mess
you grab your guitar and you get kicked out with the rest
the headliner′s bus rolls by, they honk and wave
and as you’re walking across the street some guy you meet
he says he caught your band and you guys was kind of neat
say, could you open up for his band tonight?
they need an opener tonight
[outro]
oh, f+ck, i didn’t [?]
try it again
