Took the bus out of Austin, band was all on board
Everyone's so excited, who knows what lays in
store
Hey look out the window, there goes Baton Rouge
Nobody there knows us, band's still paying its
dues
Yeah we're paying dues

First show in New Orleans, saw the lights of
Bourbon Street
On the road in the morning, Little Rock's where
we'll be
And the bus keeps on rolling, down that old
highway
And every night we play music, that's what gets
you through the day
Yeah, cause that's why we play

And the rain keeps pouring down and it's leaking
in our beat-up bus
Still we're high and dry inside and there's a
rainbow ahead of us
People say we're crazy to go searching for a pot
of gold
But we got to chase that dream before we're too
damn old

Last show's in Kentucky, took the bus on out of
town
All the girls were waving come back, so we were
Texas Bound

Fast food and motel rooms, sure got the best of me
But looking back if you ask me, hell I'd do it for
free
Yeah cause some times we do
Yeah sometimes we do

Down the road so many miles to go, who knows what
city's next
Who knows what lies ahead, who knows...
