"Gotta Get Rid Of This Band" lyrics

Gotta Get Rid Of This Band

Oh, I gotta get rid of this band
They're rocking too hard for a country music man
I preach them and I teach them
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

Now my friend there on piano
He's 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

Those boys on bass and drums you know
They're country through and through
But they wanna wear makeup
Like the 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 talking 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

Yeah, I gotta get rid of this band
They're rocking too hard for a country music man
I preach them and I teach them
But they don't understand
That's why I gotta get rid of this band
