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 comin' out of my daddys radio

Came out of my seat and said, "Son of a gun"

And daddy said, "Now 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

I heard the crowd start screamin'

Man you ain't livin'

Till you go runnin'

With a Hillbilly band

I came to Nashville, they liked my songs

I got a bus forty-five 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 I'm singin'

The one about runnin'

With a Hillbilly band

Hillbilly band

Yeah Hillbilly band

Woo it's a Hillbilly band

You all it's a Hillbilly band
