Hillbilly Band

North Louisiana on a Saturday night
 I was sittin' in the glow of the dashboard lights
 I'll never forget I was six years old
 When I heard it comin' out of daddy's radio
 Come out of my seat and said "son of a gun"
 And Daddy said "Naw, that's the opry son"
 I heard the crowd start screamin'
 And I started dreamin'
 Of one day runnin' with a hillbilly band
 Bought a guitar, learned a few chords
 Found a few guys and a beat up ford
 Pretty girls would come from miles around
 Like bees to honey to hear that sound
 All we could afford was bread and mayonnaise
 Living for the moment when we'd hit that stage
 And hear the crowd start screamin'
 Man, you ain't livin'
 'Til you go runnin' with a hillbilly band
 ♪
 I came to Nashville and they liked my songs
 I got a bus, 45 feet long
 Bought a house to put a gold record on the wall
 The funny thing is I'm hardly there at all
 The money, the cars, you can have that stuff
 Just give me what I love
 To hear the crowd start screamin'
 To the song that I'm singin'
 The one about runnin' with a hillbilly band
 Hillbilly band
 Yeah, a hillbilly band
 Ooh, it's a hillbilly band
