The Band And I

We played heads-up in a car in Seattle
Got rock on the radio
You look like a superstar
And Dom got into Juilliard
And I'm really bad at heads-up what do you know
My drummer fell for a girl in a cookie shop
He said he'd make a move and then he went with Excuse me
Came a boy and left a man
Gotta give it to the band
Greatest one in Oregon
Oregon
And looking back all I know is
It was Friday nights it was video gold
Oh it was shining lights it was rock 'n' roll
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
And it was making it messin' it up
It was endless roads in the same old boots
Oh it was letting go of everything but you
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
If we're livin' the dream I hope we never wake up
Snowstorm in the middle of Texas
Called my mother in a Denny's and lied
Told her I've been needing them
Told her you were just a friend
Told her I was homesick
I hadn't thought of home twice
Driving and we drive again to an ocean
And I think I knew it then for a moment
It was Friday nights it was video gold
Oh it was shining lights it was rock 'n' roll
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
And it was making it messin' it up
It was endless roads in the same old boots
Oh it was letting go of everything but you
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
If we're livin' the dream I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake up
Two nights in the El Rey went flying
I'm twenty-one and I feel evergreen
The band go home I stayed around
You drive around I stay the night
Guys I'm pretty sure it's the American dream
It was changing clocks it was Tina stoned
Oh it was midnight stops at border control
It was powercuts it was certain doom
It was living in the Little Rock laundry room
Oh it was breaking down it was falling in love
In a gas station by the pick-up truck
In Philadelphia it was crystal clear
We are the best damn band that ever played right here
It was magic babe pure and strong
It was the last man standing for the Eagles song
It was a lifelong wish when we were young
Now we're living the dream and I hope we never wake up
