The Band

My daddy was a rocker and he had a lot to say
"If you wanna be like me, you gotta learn to play"
So he got me my first guitar and then put me up on stage
Told me to get better, so I'd find my way

Put on my new shoes and a nice shirt
Gonna rock on the stages in the whole world
The sound guy tells me I'm shitty and I'd rather shut my mouth
Pretend it was a witty banter, when I'm stepping out
Game on, light beams, first song 'bout our big dreams
I cannot count the opportunities we'll seize
Aiming to become the band that we're supposed to be

And with a bunch of fans calling our names
Calling our names, like they've never done before
And a bunch of fans calling our names
Calling our names, like they've never done before

The crowd screams, the crowd shouts
The crowd sings and the the crowd doubts that we
Just played our first show in a pub down the street
Aiming to become the band that we're supposed to be

And with a bunch of fans calling our names
Calling our names, like they've never done before
And a bunch of fans calling our names
Calling our names, like they've never done before

Lights off, curtains fall
Tearing down the equipment we installed, got the
The shaky legs and my outfit smells of sweat
Two ruptured eardrums and my shoes are soaking wet
Dad calls, dad's proud, dad's proud, 'cause dad saw
Our show that's filmed and was live on TV
Believing we'll become the band that we're supposed to be

And with a bunch of girls calling our names
Calling our names, like they've never done before
And a bunch of boys calling our names
Calling our names, like they've never done before
