Where the Bands Are

[Verse 1]

I hear the guitars ringin' out, babe

Ringin' out down Union Street

I hear the lead singer shoutin' out, girl

I wanna be a slave to the beat

Yeah, tonight I wanna break my chains

Somebody break my heart, somebody shake my brains

Downtown, there's something that I wanna hear

There's a sound, little girl, keeps ringin' in my ear

[Chorus]

I wanna be where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are (Where the bands are)

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are (Where the bands are)

[Verse 2]

Get off of work and I grab something to eat

I turn the corner and I drive down your street

Little gray houses, darling, looks like nowhere

But hey, I know you're hidin' in there

Come on out for just a little while

You know that heart of stone, girl, it just ain't your style

Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd

And when I tell you that I love you (Tell you that I love you)

I wanna have to shout it out loud (Shout it out loud)

Shout it out loud

[Chorus]

I wanna be where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are (Where the bands are)

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are (Where the bands are)

I wanna be where the bands are (Oh, c'mon)

[Saxophone Solo]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, let's go

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I hear the guitars ringin' out again

Ringin' on down Union Street

I hear the lead singer shoutin' out, girl

I wanna be a slave to the beat

And I want something that'll break my chains

Something to break my heart, something to shake my brains

There's a rocker's special on tonight

So meet me on down (Meet me on down)

'Neath the neon lights

[Chorus]

I wanna be where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are (Where the bands are)

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are (Where the bands are)

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are (Where the bands are)

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are (Where the bands are)

I wanna be

I wanna be

I wanna be where the bands are

[Outro]

(Oh, I wanna be, oh, I wanna be)

(Oh, I wanna be, yes, I wanna be)

Where the bands are

(Oh, I wanna be, girl, I wanna be)

(Oh, I wanna be, yes, I wanna be)

I wanna be where the bands are
