Bought my first guitar in 1969 Saw "Woodstock" on the screen the following year Played in bands in junior high wrote a song or two That's what brought me here Never was a singer until 1982 Jim Beam whiskey helped me k** the fear Made a lot of noise on stages all across the land That's what brought me here That's what brought me here, brought me here Chasing silly rainbows, wiping away the tears Brought me here, brought me here Every road, that's what brought me here Wrote "Apache Princess" on an old Yamaha Something must have caught my sister's ear "Dan you know you're not allowed to write your own songs" Ain't it funny, that's what brought me here Pulled a smash and grab to get a sweet guitar but the cops got me with the gear "I sentence you to LA boy to learn to strum and play" Thank you judge, that's what brought me here That's what brought me here, brought me here Chasing silly rainbows, wiping away the tears Brought me here, brought me here Every road, that's what brought me here Something called my name down Highway 95 Pulling us together far and near to celebrate the beauty that we all keep inside Yes indeed, that's what brought us here That's what brought us here
