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