Lyrics of Always in the band

High school halftime, friday night
Standing on the fifty yard line
Big old blue and gold tuba in my hand
I could see katie ann in the popcorn line
Couldn't see how to make her mine
I was always in the band

At eighteen i found a cheap guitar
Became seeger and willie in a smokey bar
And bared my soul behind a rusty old mic stand
I get her name and number on a second break
Watch someone dance my chance away
I was always in the band

Sometimes this dream demands more than i can give it
But even still i don't regret a single minute
Oh, to hear you laugh, to feel your pain
To see a thousand waving flames
It's just a part of me, that's who i am
I was always in the band

Met her backstage before a show
Las vegas rodeo
Three months later i asked her for her hand
We tied the knot on the 6th of june
Woulda had a honeymoon
But i was always in the band

Left dallas on the way to omaha
Round topeka when i got the call
Baby's coming, honey, get here when you can
Yeah, i guess i shoulda turned that bus around
I'da let 30,000 people down
I was always in the band

Sometimes this dream demands more than i can give it
But even still i don't regret a single minute
Oh, to hear you laugh, to feel your pain
To see a thousand waving flames
It's just a part of me, thank god she understands
I was always in the band

I was always in the band
