Artist/Band: Bobby Bare
Lyrics for Song: Gotta Get Rid of This Band
Lyrics for Album: Drunk and Crazy [Columbia] [1980]



(Shel Silverstein)



Oh, I gotta get rid of this band

They're rockin' 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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 talkin' 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.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh, I gotta get rid of this band

They're rockin' 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...
