With the Band

My daddy hated that rock 'n' roll So I know I wasn't supposed to go To the loud devil music show But I wound up in the snake pit with my best friend And when the lights came up We both decided that we'd try our luck At gettin' back to where the real show was We were backstage, under-age, hangin' with the drummer When a big dude attitude grabbed me by the collar I looked at him and said, "It's all good, brother" "I'm with the band, hired on as a local stage hand The one in charge of the microphone stands" And the lead singer told me to get the one in his dressin' room We might even have a beer or two Don't worry 'bout the backstage pass, man it's cool I'm with the band, I'm with the band I can't believe that we made it this far Country singin', bangin' loud guitars The biggest stages to the smallest bars We were cold beer drinkin', what was I thinkin'? Just the other night at the after party rockin' just right This little country girl caught my eye She was backstage, legal-age, hangin' with the drummer When a big dude attitude grabbed her by the collar I looked at him and said, "It's all good, brother" "She's with the band, hired on as a local stage hand The one in charge of the microphone stands" And the lead singer told her to get the one in his dressin' room We might even have a beer or two Don't worry 'bout the backstage pass, man, it's cool She's with the band Well tomorrow is another town But you know we love a party crowd So if you got the right stuff we'll meet you on the bus But you better get the lingo down Just tell 'em that you're with the band Hired on as a local stage hand You know we got a lot of microphone stands And the lead singer told you to get the one in his dressin' room We might even have a beer or two Don't worry about the backstage pass, y'all, it's cool You're with the band You're with the band You're with the band You're with the band
