Lance's Song

[Verse 1] Doing what you love has a high price to pay Some put on a suit, but he ran the other way Drums drown out the yuppies And the one's who could not dream Because the freedom music gave him was worth more than anything [Chorus] They do not know What they got Until it is gone Like it or not You live on love You try to do what is right We are all here waiting for our silver invitation To the big band in the sky [Verse 2] Rolling down the windows Trying hard to fight the sleep Money is never much for a band in Tennessee Another night of playing To a crowd with no ears Want to hear the songs they know And fill their bellies full of beer [Chorus] [Verse 3] And when he closed his eyes Fell into a dream that never dies And when the thunder comes You can hear his kick drum in the sky Feel the rain Fall from our eyes [Chorus]
