Johnny McEldoo (with Tommy Makem) - Live

The promoter says he wants to cancel
 'Cause there ain't enough tickets sold
 The air conditioner on the bus just broke
 And I can't shake this cold
 The single lost the bullet
 The singer's losin' his wife
 Well I might be crazy but I wouldn't change
 A single thing about this life
 Sometimes we feel like champions
 Sometimes we just can't win
 Sometimes our records hit the top of the charts
 Or the discount bargain bins
 Through almost 20 years of touring
 We've remained partners, brothers and friends
 We will keep it together 'cause we're sure
 We're gonna be big time before it all ends
 And just as long as Johnny got his fiddle
 And Jimmy got his drums along
 Then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be
 Singing all our favorite songs
 We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row
 Fan the flames as the beat gets strong
 It's great to be a part of something
 So good that's lasted so long
 Well I saw a story in the paper
 Suddenly the band's big news
 The critics all like our records just fine
 But they seem a bit confused
 Is it folk or rock or country?
 Whoa seems like everybody cares but us
 So just leave us an early wakeup call
 So we don't miss the bus
 And just as long as Johnny got his fiddle
 And Jimmy got his drums along
 Then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be
 Singing all our favorite songs
 We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row
 Fan the flames as the beat gets strong
 It's great to be a part of something
 So good that's lasted so long
 The band says it can't stand my latest song
 It's too personal
 But my first wife's second marriage blew up
 I had to get the damn thing annulled
 Well if that ain't something to sing about
 You tell me what is
 And we'll give it a beat and put it on the street
 And we just might have another hit
 And just as long as Johnny got his banjo
 And Jimmy got his hearts along
 Then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be
 Singing all our favorite songs
 We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row
 Fan the flames as the beat gets strong
 It's great to be a part of something
 So good that's lasted so long
 Yeah, it's great to be a part of something
 So good that's lasted so long
