Lyrics
It's a humdrum life for a music man
On the road again
With a travelin' band
The lines are long for the midnight show
We're music makers singin' songs that you know
Playing our guitars and lookin' through the faces
Seeing no one there that we'll ever know
Just reachin' for a star in a million nowhere places
We're Shadow's Rock & Roll Traveling Show
Gotta write some words for some brand new songs
Some kickass tunes we can call our own
So we can lay down tracks in the studio
And get some new songs playing on the radio
Making sure the crowds still recognize our faces
Puttin' out sweet sounds for all the world to know
Lookin' for a thrill and some lips we've never tasted
We're Shadow's Rock & Roll Traveling Show
Gonna rock these towns til our amps give out
Til our diehard fans don't come to scream and shout
We've been down so long nobody knows our names
Playing in bars so small it's a crying shame
Shootin' for the moon in forgotten lonely places
Tons of empty seats no matter where we go
Still reachin' for a star in a million nowhere places
We're Shadow's Rock & Roll Traveling Show
We're Shadow's Rock & Roll Traveling Show
