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.
