Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Partners, Brothers And Friends Lyrics
The promoter says he wants to cancelCause there ain't enough tickets soldThe air conditioner on the bus just brokeand I can't shake this coldThe single lost the bullet,the singer's losin' his wife;well I might be crazy but I wouldn't changeA single thing about this life.Sometimes we feel like champions,sometimes we just can't win,sometimes our records hit the top of the chartsor the discount bargain bins.Through 30 years of touringWe've remained partners, brothers, and friendswe keep it together cause we love it and we're surewe'll be big time before it all ends.Well you know you've got the Nitty Grittyand Jimmy's got his drums alongthen Jeffrey and me and Bobby will besinging all our favorite songsCatch the fire from the folks in the front rowfan the flames as the beat gets strongit's great to be a part of somethingso good that's lasted so longWell I saw a story in the papersuddenly the band's big newsthe critics all like our records just finebut they seem a bit confusedis it folk or rock or countryseems like everybody cares but usso just leave us an early wakeup callso we don't miss the busChorusThe band says it can't stand my latest song, it's too personalbut my first wife's second marriage blew upshe had to get the dang thing annulledwell if that ain't something to sing aboutwell you tell me what isand we'll give it a beat and put it on the streetand we just might have another hitChorus
