Gotta Get Rid Of This Band

(Album: Drunk And Crazy - 1980)

Oh, I gotta get rid of this band
They're rocking too hard for a country music man
I preach 'em and I teach 'em but they don't understand
I tell you folks I gotta get rid of this band.

Now that fella there on lead guitar he's a natural dude
He never takes showers and just eats natural food
And if you shared a room with him then friends I think you'd understand
Just why I gotta get rid of this band.

Now my friend there on piano he been known to do some dope
There's nothing he won't sniff or swallow or smoke
And sometimes he's just too damn stoned to help me reach the stand
Oh, I gotta get rid of this band.

Those boys on bass and drums you know they're country through and through
But they wanna wear makeup like them rock stars do
But they smile at each other and sometimes they hold hands
Too long on the road I gotta get rid of this band.

We got a honey talking pretty boy there on that steel guitar
And the girls don't realize that I'm the star
And when anybody interferes with my romantic plans
They're gone I gotta get rid of this band.

Oh, I gotta get rid of this band
They're rocking too hard for a country music man
I preach 'em and I teach 'em but they don't understand
I tell you folks I gotta get rid of this band...
