lyrics

Cover Band
lyrics & music by Carolyn J. Messina (c) 2017

I say hey diddle diddle. Cat’s got a fiddle. Buddy’s got a stand up bass
I got a six string. Think I'm gonna sing. Drummer better keep on pace. Yeah heh

Gonna play Springsteen. Joni at seventeen. Dream a little dream of me
Coldplay, Green day. Let’s all drift away with Me and Bobby Mcgee

In sweet home Alabama I got Georgia on my mind.
At the hotel California You can leave it all behind
If you're a red neck woman or a sharp dressed man
Kick up your shoes or cowboy boots and dance all night to a cover band. To a cover band

Dylan, Sugarland, Nitty Gritty Dirt band. Etta got me singing the blues
Raise your glass to Johnny Cash. He’ll walk the line with you. With you…
.
Blondie Beatles Kansas Eagles. Elvis got me All Shook Up
Billie Jean, the Stones and Queen. Build me up a buttercup

In sweet home Alabama I got Georgia on my mind.
At the hotel California You can leave it all behind
If you're a red neck woman or a sharp dressed man
Kick up your shoes or cowboy boots and dance all night to a cover band. To a cover band

If you're gonna play in Texas you’re gonna need a bit Ole truck
Cause you can't drive a Lexus if you're playing Marshall Tucker
Workin for the weekend and we’re livin on a prayer
Anyway you want it let the music take you there

Guns n roses, everybody knows it. Oh sweet child of mine
Bruno’s lazy, Patsy’s crazy. We’re all closer to fine

Move like Jagger, y’all gor swagger, Shake me all night long
Pink asked who knew, what I like about you, Sing me another song

In sweet home Alabama I got Georgia on my mind.
At the hotel California You can leave it all behind
If you're a red neck woman or a sharp dressed man
Kick up your shoes or cowboy boots and dance all night to a cover band. To a cover band
