The Fans (Original Version)

Before we ever made the headlines

Or toured the concert halls

We survived our share of bar rooms

Stared at many motel walls

The years in Carolina

And all the one night stands

What kept the fires a-burnin'

Back then was you, the fans

We two stepped out to Texas

Round and round the dance hall floors

Played the fair in Minnesota, mmm

I wish we could've played one more

We hope you remember

We're just the boys in the band

And what keeps the fires a-burnin'

Is always you, the fans

I wish this night could last forever

Ah, but the show must go on

And we'll take home the memories

And we'll leave you with our songs

It's been good to see y'all

Can we come back again and again and again?

What keeps the fires a-burnin'

In us is you, the fans

As long as you remember

The boys in the band

We'll keep the fires a'burnin'

For all of you, our fans
