Andy Griggs - Hillbilly Band lyrics

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 coming out of my daddy's radio Came out of my seat and said, son of a gun Daddy said, naw, that's the Opry Son Chorus: I heard that crowd start screaming And i started dreaming Of one day running 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 hard... Chorus: I heard that crowd start screaming And i started dreaming Of one day running With a hillbilly band I came to Nashville and they liked my songs I got a bus forty-five feet long Bought a house to put a gold record on the wall 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 that crowd start screaming To the songs I'm singing The one about running With a hillbilly band Hillbilly Band Yeah, hillbilly band Oh its the hillbilly band Ya'll its a hillbilly band
