Hillbilly Band
North Louisiana on a Saturday night
I was sittin' in the glow of the dashboard lights
I'll never forget I was six years old
When I heard it comin' out of daddy's radio
Come out of my seat and said "son of a gun"
And Daddy said "Naw, that's the opry son"
I heard the crowd start screamin'
And I started dreamin'
Of one day runnin' with a hillbilly band
Bought a guitar, learned a few chords
Found a few guys and a beat up ford
Pretty girls would come from miles around
Like bees to honey to hear that sound
All we could afford was bread and mayonnaise
Living for the moment when we'd hit that stage
And hear the crowd start screamin'
Man, you ain't livin'
'Til you go runnin' with a hillbilly band
I came to Nashville and they liked my songs
I got a bus, 45 feet long
Bought a house to put a gold record on the wall
The funny thing is I'm hardly there at all
The money, the cars, you can have that stuff
Just give me what I love
To hear the crowd start screamin'
To the song that I'm singin'
The one about runnin' with a hillbilly band
Hillbilly band
Yeah, a hillbilly band
Ooh, it's a hillbilly band
I was sittin' in the glow of the dashboard lights
I'll never forget I was six years old
When I heard it comin' out of daddy's radio
Come out of my seat and said "son of a gun"
And Daddy said "Naw, that's the opry son"
I heard the crowd start screamin'
And I started dreamin'
Of one day runnin' with a hillbilly band
Bought a guitar, learned a few chords
Found a few guys and a beat up ford
Pretty girls would come from miles around
Like bees to honey to hear that sound
All we could afford was bread and mayonnaise
Living for the moment when we'd hit that stage
And hear the crowd start screamin'
Man, you ain't livin'
'Til you go runnin' with a hillbilly band
I came to Nashville and they liked my songs
I got a bus, 45 feet long
Bought a house to put a gold record on the wall
The funny thing is I'm hardly there at all
The money, the cars, you can have that stuff
Just give me what I love
To hear the crowd start screamin'
To the song that I'm singin'
The one about runnin' with a hillbilly band
Hillbilly band
Yeah, a hillbilly band
Ooh, it's a hillbilly band
