Lyrics
A ROCK BAND, A PIG & A VIDEO
HEADIN WEST ACROSS THIS LAND
IN A MINI BUS WITH MY BAND…UMM
THERE WERE MOTEL ROWS AND COTTON FIELDS
HOWARD JOHNSONS AND TRUCK MEALS UM
LEAVIN HOME JUST ONE MORE TIME
TO PLAY MY SONGS AND TO TRY AND FIND
AN AUDIENCE THAT RELATES TO ME
I KNOW THEY’RE OUT THERE JUST GOTTA BE
A MER I CA IS CALLING OUT TO ME
WE’RE OLDER THAN DIRT
AND WE’RE HERE TO PLAY
BEEN AROUND AWHILE
AND HAVE A LOT TO SAY
BEEN PLAYIN FOR YEARS
NO ONE SEEMED TO CARE
NOW LIGHTENING STRUCK
AND WE’RE HERE TO SHARE
WE PLAYED ALABAMA TO ARKANSAS
NEW YORK CITY AND EVERY DIVE WE SAW UM
WE PLAYED CALIFORNIA TO WASHINGTON
PLAYED FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTED TO COME UMM
SOMETIMES WE GOT PAID BUT MOSTLY FOR FREE
WE WERE OLDER THAN DIRT JUST MY BAND AND ME
BUT WE COULD ROCK AND WRITE GOOD SONGS
CHECK US OUT YEAH WE BELONG
AMERICA IS CALLING OUT TO ME
( CHORUS)
OUR AGENT CALLED WITH A FANTASTIC GIG
OUR VIDEO’S VIRAL THE ONE WITH THE PIG UMM
ALL THE PIG DID WAS OINK A LOT
IT WAS ALL A BIG JOKE AND WE WERE HIGH ON POT UMM
AFTER 50 YEARS AND A MILLION MILES
IT TOOK A PIG ON FILM TO MAKE ME SMILE
WE’RE OLDER THAN DIRT AND WE’RE HERE TO PLAY
WE AIM TO ROCK AND AIM TO STAY
AMERICA IS CALLING OUT TO ME
