Started A Band

She played me and that record
For two months straight
Shoulda never introduced her
That was my mistake
She stole my 2002 tour t-shirt
And I'll never get it back
Oh no

They pulled into Dallas
On a cold November night
I didn't wanna take her
But we made the drive
I bought us front row tickets
Two tall boys and a backstage pass

Lights so bright
Set the night on fire
500 people holdin' up their lighters
Spillin' ten dollar beers singing every word
Them boys guitars was cryin'
Just like her
When she ran around back when the show was over
I took the picture
Lead singer pulled her closer
I left in my truck
She left in their van
So I went and bought a guitar
And started a band

Yeah, I played that six string shooter
Dialed that puppy in
I wrote a cowboy song
As lonesome as the wind
Sang it for the door guy down at the Blind Pig
And I was in
I got a gig

Lights so bright set the bar on fire
15 people holdin' up their lighters
Spillin' two dollar beers
Singing all the wrong words
My guitar was cryin'
Just like her
When she ran around back when the show was over
I took the picture
Lead singer pulled her closer
I left in my truck
She left in their van
So I went and bought a guitar
And started a band
Yeah I started a band
Yeah I started a band
Mmm

Yeah
Couple hundred shows later
I'm warmin' em up for Mo Wallen
My phones blowin' up y'all and
Guess who's callin'
It's that girl that wrecked my world
That cold November night
Said she'd be stage right

Lights so bright set the world on fire
Hundred Thousand people holdin' up their lighters
Spillin' twenty dollar beers singing every word
Them boys guitars was cryin'
Just like her
And she ran around back when the show was over
I took the picture acted like I didn't know her
I got on the bus
Smiled and said damn
I might have lost a girl but I
I started a band
Yeah I started a band
Yeah I started a band

Yeah, Yeah
I started a band
