LONESTAR - Always in the Band lyrics

rate me

(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...
