Travelin' Band

They were searchin' for stars when we came along\nIt was rock 'n roll in a country song\nThere were five of us thinking that we can\nThis is the life and times of a traveling band\nHollywood had a funny face\nSo we took our chances and we got away\nBack to Nashville, Tennessee\nHobie, Bobby, Jim and Joe and me\nNo the west coast life\nDidn’t fit just right\nYou could see us on the television\nIt ain’t easy bein' all that grand\nSo we put on our blue jeans and our t-shirts\nAnd made off with our guitars in the van\nAnd took our place\nOut on the stage\nIn a travelin' band\nWe heard our song on the radio\nAlong with the «Gambler» we hit the road\nAll across the USA\nWe were gypsies on parade\nWe were all about three chords and the truth\nWe wrote our songs on the bus, in the booth\nSome go fast like «Some Girls Do»\nSome go slow like «Used to Blue»\nWhen the lights went down\nWe could hear the crowd\nWe headlined our first show in Salt Lake City\nWe still make a stop there now and then\nThey’ve got all our faces on their t-shirts\nYou should have seen our hairdos way back when\nWe took our place\nOn the stage\nIn a travelin' band\nFame and fortune don’t mean much\nWithout someone to hold and someone to touch\nSome wives left, some stayed on\nSo who do you love when the beat goes on\nNow we’re 27 years and a million miles\nShifting gears and changing styles\nWe said goodbye to old DC\nNow it’s Hobie, Shayne and Jim, the Joes and me\nAnd when «The Race is On»\nThey all sing along\nNow I’d like to take this time to thank you\nThough it’s been a long and winding road\nI count my blessings when I see those faces\nAnd I look down at this guitar in my hand\nAnd I take my place\nOn the stage\nIn a travelin' band\nI’m in a travelin' band
