lirik lagu bill anderson - my van

jimmy was not a good guitar player at all
but his mama said we could her bas~m~nt for our rehearsal hall
and if our band was gonna get real tight
we had to have a place to play
so jimmy became our guitar picker that way

and bobby couldn’t hardly tune an electric bass
but his cousin had a brand new fender with a hardsh~ll fur~lined case
and when that spotlight hit it low it shined like solid gold
and that’s how bobby got into playing rock ‘n roll

and me, i couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket
but if they didn’t let me sing and try to do my thing than i had to chuck it
i couldn’t pick a l!ck, i wasn’t part of the clan
but i got to be in the band ’cause it was my van

we were running late on the way to our very first show
when the cops pulled us over for speeding just outside of tupelo
they said “who owns this pile of junk?”
like a fool i raised my hand
i spent the night in the can ’cause it was my van

well the band came to me one night out in idaho
said we found us a great girl singer and we’re gonna have to let you go
i said “well that’s real cool boys, haha
but how you gonna get to spokane?”
i took the girl by the hand and split in my van
i still can’t carry a tune in a bucket
but me and that sweet young thing
we make a heck of a team and the people love it

i wondered ’bout the guys in the band
maybe now they understand
you need to be nice to the man who owns the van

yeah, when you’re in a band be nice to the man with the van
i wonder how those old boys are doin’ anyhow
last i heard they were still out in idaho, diggin’ potatoes, hahaha
me and this sweet young thing, we’re diggin’ music
traveling all over the world, pickin’ and grinning
postponing adulthood as long as we can, in my van
you know what the accountant told me last week?
he said “if you work 364 days next year you can afford to buy a bus”
okay, you can afford to lease a bus, haha
a 1957 scenicruiser
one with the big dog on the side of it
i don’t know, my little darling kinda likes the van
‘cept she wants to paint it pink
haha, well we can play music up front and sell mary kay out the back, haha
come on honey, we’re booked in cheyenne
then we gotta go to louisanne
then we’re going to ketchikan
booking agent’s been throwin’ darts at the map again, haha
start this thing darling, we gotta filler up, head out!
ah, showbiz is my life
