Started A Band Lyrics by Ben Burgess

Tears the Size of Texas

2022

[Verse 1]
She played me and that record for two months straight
Shoulda never introduced her, that was my mistake
She stole my 2002 tour t-shirt
Ad I'll never get it back, oh, no
[Verse 2]
They pulled into Dallas on a cold November night
I didn't wanna take her, but we made the drive
Bought us front row tickets, two tall boys
And a backstage pass
[Chorus]
Light so bright, set the night on fire
Five hundred people holdin' up their lighters
Spillin' ten dollar beer, singing every word
Them boys guitars was cryin' just like her
When she ran around back when the show was over
I took the picture, lead singer pulled her closer
I left in my truck, she left in their van
So I went and bought a guitar and started a band, yeah
[Verse 3]
I played that six string shooter, dialed that puppy in
I wrote cowboy song as lonesome as the wind
Sang it for the door guy down at the Blind Pig
And I was in, I got a gig
[Chorus]
Light so bright, set the bar on fire
Fifteen people holdin' up their lighters
Spillin' two dollar beer, singing all the wrong words
My guitar was cryin' just like her
When she ran around back when the show was over
I took the picture, lead singer pulled her closer
I left in my truck, she left in their van
So I went and bought a guitar and started a band
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I started a band
Yeah, I started a band
[Verse 4]
Yeah, couple hundred shows later, I'm warmin 'em up for Mo' Wallen, yeah
My phones blowin' up, y'all, and guess who's callin'
It's that girl that wrecked my world that cold November night
Said she'd be stage right
[Chorus]
Light so bright, set the world on fire
Hundred thousand people holdin' up their lighters
Spillin' twenty dollar beer, singing every word
Them boys guitars was cryin' just like her
When she ran around back when the show was over
I took the picture, acted like I didn't know her
I got on the bus, smiled and said, "Damn
I might have lost the girl, but I, I started a band"
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I started a band
Yeah, I started a band
Yeah, yeah
I started a band
