Lance's Song

Doing what you love has a high price to pay Some put on a suit, but he ran the other way Drums drown out the yuppies And the one's who couldn't dream 'Cause the freedom music gave him was worth more than anything They don't know What they got Till it's gone Like it or not Live on love You try to do what's right We're all here waiting for our silver invitation To the big band in the sky Rollin' down the windows Trying hard to fight the sleep Money's never much for a band in Tennessee Another night of playing To a crowd with no ears Wanna hear the songs they know And fill their bellies full of beer But they don't know What they got Till it's gone Like it or not You live on love You try to do what's right We're all here waiting for our silver invitation To the big band in the sky And when he closed his eyes Fell into a dream that never dies And when the thunder comes You can hear his kick drum in the sky Feel the rain Fall from our eyes 'Cause we don't know What we got Till it's gone Like it or not You live on love You try to do what's right For him there's no more waiting Got his silver invitation Just to do a little playing For the big band in the sky
