Letra de Started A Band

32 count Intro
I turned sixteen got a brand new six-string
Haggard and Hank, Sting and Springsteen
Peelin' the paint every chance I got
Daddy said "You're pretty good, but it's tough out there
Now 'Stairway To Heaven' won't get ya anywhere
Otta cut your hair, and get a real job."
Chorus 1:
So I started a band, and we got out of dodge
In a Dodge van with no exhaust
Got high off the fumes, but we played our tunes
Ain't no one gonna say I can't
Yeah, I started a band, stared a band
Started a band and I met a girl
Sang my songs and rocked her world
Goin' strong but out of the blue one day
She said "I can't love a music man"
So I dropped my dream and sold my amp
But I'll be damned if she didn't leave me anyway
Chorus 2:
So I stared a band, with a couple new guys
We played those same ol' dives
Yeah, we never sold gold, okay, we never sold
Ain't no one gonna say I can't
Yeah, I started a band, started a band
But the lead picker always played too loud
And him and the drummer had a fallin' out
Bass man stayed out of it and just got drunk
I was Nashville bound, my dreams were bigger
I knocked 'em out they just couldn't pull the trigger
And that's Nashville speak for I stunk, as a solo man
Chorus 3:
So I started a band, we play what we like
On a stage that's eight feet wide
But I got my pride, and I got my van
I kept who I am, I started a band
Started a band, can't get this guitar out my hand
Yeah I started a band
