David Magdalene ~ Lyrics
Boys in the Band
(Words and Music by David Khan Johnson)
Traveling in the van at night
My guitar 'neath my head
Joey struggled for some room
Tom dreamed of his bed
Johnny G. was at the wheel
And I was next in line
Charleston was four hundred miles
But we had lots of time
It was a choice that we made
The way we worked and we played
The way that we made a stand
The way that we worked the land
We were the boys in the band
Susie was our biggest fan
She stood by the bar
I saw her when we walked on stage
To her I was a star
When we began to play
She'd close her eyes and she'd sway
That music took her away
Took her so far away
She loved the boys in the band
I just got tired of putting
My heart on the line
Maybe I'll try it again
Some other time
I got a call from my friend Rick
He sang and played the bass
We ran those old stories again
About the good old days
Have you heard from Guitar Jim
or Georgie from Key West?
We talked about what might have been
And then gave it a rest
It was a choice that we made
The way we worked and we played
The way that we made a stand
The way that we worked the land
We were the boys in the band
