I Had a Band Lyrics by Alex Dezen

Alex Dezen II

2017

[Verse 1]
Speeding down 95
Trailer’s hanging off the side
Ted’s cheering
Dave’s hidden his head in his hands
Steve’s fearing for his life
And that’s how I learned to drive
When I was 25
[Verse 2]
Thinkin’ I was ten feet tall
Yeah, baby, I could take ‘em all
Steve's hiding
Ted's trying to get his ass back home
Dave’s standing at the other end of the hall
And that’s how I learned how to throw a fastball
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I didn’t grow up in the straightest line
Crooked and bent like broken spine
God bless the woman, my mother tried
And tried and tried and tired
[Chorus]
I never had much of a father
But I had a band
Yeah, I had a band
I never had much of a father
Or a box full of sand
Growing up in a van
But I had a band
[Verse 3]
Stayin up all night
Bottoming out on 3-day high
Dave’s peaking
Steve’s can’t feel his face anymore
But Ted’s gonna stay sober and drive
And that’s how I learned to be a good guy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I didn’t grow up in the straightest line
Knotted and tied like a ball of twine
God bless the woman, my sister tried
And tried and tried and trid
[Chorus]
I never had much of a father
But I had a band
Yeah, I had a band
I never had much of a father
Or a box full of sand
Growing up in a van
But I had a band
[Chorus]
I never had much of a father
But I had a band
Yeah, I had a band
I never had much of a father
Or a box full of sand
Growing up in a van
But I had a band
Yeah, I had a band
I had a band
