Sawyer Brown - Travelin' Band lyrics

They were searchin' for stars when we came along It was rock 'n roll in a country song There were five of us thinking that we can This is the life and times of a traveling band Hollywood had a funny face So we took our chances and we got away Back to Nashville, Tennessee Hobie, Bobby, Jim and Joe and me No the west coast life Didn't fit just right You could see us on the television It ain't easy bein' all that grand So we put on our blue jeans and our t-shirts And made off with our guitars in the van And took our place Out on the stage In a travelin' band We heard our song on the radio Along with the "Gambler" we hit the road All across the USA We were gypsies on parade We were all about three chords and the truth We wrote our songs on the bus, in the booth Some go fast like "Some Girls Do" Some go slow like "Used to Blue" When the lights went down We could hear the crowd We headlined our first show in Salt Lake City We still make a stop there now and then They've got all our faces on their t-shirts You should have seen our hairdos way back when We took our place On the stage In a travelin' band Fame and fortune don't mean much Without someone to hold and someone to touch Some wives left, some stayed on So who do you love when the beat goes on Now we're 27 years and a million miles Shifting gears and changing styles We said goodbye to old DC Now it's Hobie, Shayne and Jim, the Joes and me And when "The Race is On" They all sing along Now I'd like to take this time to thank you Though it's been a long and winding road I count my blessings when I see those faces And I look down at this guitar in my hand And I take my place On the stage In a travelin' band I'm in a travelin' band
