Rock & Roll Band
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road and tryin' to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right out in the street
No, we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage, and got ready to play
People came alive
Rock and roll band everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy, anticipatin'
Love, and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name
Livin' on rock and roll music
Never worried 'bout the things we were missin'
When we got up on stage
And got ready to play everybody'd listen
Rock and roll band everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy, anticipatin'
Love, and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Playin' for a week in Rhode Island
A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
Drove a Cadillac car and said
Boys, I think this band's outta sight
Sign a record company contract
You know I've got great expectations
When I hear you on the car radio
You're gonna be a sensation
Rock and roll band everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy, anticipatin'
Love, and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
