Lonestar Always In The Band Lyrics

Always In The Band Lyrics

High school halftime, Friday night

Standing on the fifty yard line

Big old blue and gold tuba in my hand

I could see Katie Ann 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 Seeger and Willie in a Smokey bar

And bared my soul behind a rusty old Mic stand

I get her name and number on a 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 6th of June

Woulda had a honeymoon

But I was always in the band



Left Dallas on the way to Omaha

Round Topeka when I got the call

Baby's coming, honey, get here when you can

Yeah, I guess I shoulda turned that bus around

I'da let 30,000 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
