No One to Sing for (But the Band)
Once I had a girlfriend
She loved to hear me sing
But I left her in Nashville
Flew west on a silver plane
My family can't kid me anymore
They never really liked my songs before
Now I'm all grown up, and I'm a lonely man
And there's no one to sing for but the band
No, there's no one to sing for but the band
They always say I'm singin' grand
But if you listen close, you'll understand
Why there's no one to sing for but the band
I had a friend in Houston
Thought I was somethin' else
She moved off to another town
In spite of the way she felt
My family can't kid me anymore
They never really liked my songs before
Now I'm all grown up, I'm a full-grown lonely man
And there's no one to sing for but the band
No, there's no one to sing for but the band
They always say I'm doin' grand
But if you listen close, you'll understand
Why there's no one to sing for but the band
No, there's no one to sing for but the band
And they always say I'm singin' grand
But if you listen close, you'll understand
Why there's no one to sing for but the band
She loved to hear me sing
But I left her in Nashville
Flew west on a silver plane
My family can't kid me anymore
They never really liked my songs before
Now I'm all grown up, and I'm a lonely man
And there's no one to sing for but the band
No, there's no one to sing for but the band
They always say I'm singin' grand
But if you listen close, you'll understand
Why there's no one to sing for but the band
I had a friend in Houston
Thought I was somethin' else
She moved off to another town
In spite of the way she felt
My family can't kid me anymore
They never really liked my songs before
Now I'm all grown up, I'm a full-grown lonely man
And there's no one to sing for but the band
No, there's no one to sing for but the band
They always say I'm doin' grand
But if you listen close, you'll understand
Why there's no one to sing for but the band
No, there's no one to sing for but the band
And they always say I'm singin' grand
But if you listen close, you'll understand
Why there's no one to sing for but the band
