Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Partners Brothers & Friends Lyrics
The promoter says he wants to cancelCause there aint enough tickets soldThe air conditioner on the bus just brokeAnd I cant shake this coldThe single lost the bullet,The singers losin his wife;Well I might be crazy but I wouldnt changeA single thing about this life.Sometimes we feel like champions,Sometimes we just cant win,Sometimes our records hit the top of the chartsOr the discount bargain bins.Through 30 years of touringWeve remained partners, brothers, and friendsWe keep it together cause we love it and were sureWell be big time before it all ends.Well you know youve got the nitty grittyAnd jimmys 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 strongIts great to be a part of somethingSo good thats lasted so longWell I saw a story in the paperSuddenly the bands 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 dont miss the busChorusThe band says it cant stand my latest song, its too personalBut my first wifes second marriage blew upShe had to get the dang thing annulledWell if that aint something to sing aboutWell you tell me what isAnd well give it a beat and put it on the streetAnd we just might have another hitChorus
