Old Timey Band Lyrics

Oh I wanna play in an old-timey band

And I wanna be a guy that says what he means

I wanna sing out a tune and get praise for it

And I wanna live in the back of the van

Oh I think that we should get our drinks for free

And I think the doorman should have to leave

And I still think it's unfair to be 17

And not hear the bands that you came here to see

But I'm just another person that wishes

And I'm just another person that dreams

And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this

Before everything changes and we forget what it means

I'm just another person that wishes

And I'm just another person that dreams

And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this

Before everything changes and we forget what it means

Oh I wanna play an old-timey band

And I wanna be a guy that sings really good

And I wanna hear singing go all through the crowd

That shatters the windows and splinters the wood

And I wanna hear fathers that care for their children

And I wanna hear mothers that act modestly

And I wanna hear leaders that care for their people

And I wanna hear people just like you and me

But I can't seem to see past the smoke and the mirrors

That blind me and choke me and blacken my soul

So if I die crawling out of this room tonight

Please read me these words at my funeral

Cause I'm just another person that wishes

And I'm just another person that dreams

And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this

Before everything changes and we forget what it means

I'm just another person that wishes

And I'm just another person that dreams

And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this

Before everything changes and we forget what it means

Before you go on changing and you forget what you mean

Before I go on changing and I forget what I mean

Well I wanna play in an old-timey band
