The promoter says he wants to cancel   'Cause there ain't enough tickets sold   The air conditioner on the bus just broke   And I can't shake this cold      The single lost the bullet   The singer's losin' his wife   Well, I might be crazy but I wouldn't change   A single thing about this life      Sometimes we feel like champions   Sometimes we just can't win   Sometimes our records hit the top of the charts   Or the discount bargain bins      Through all those 20 years of touring   We've remained partners, brothers and friends   We're keep it together 'cause we're sure   We're gonna be big time, before it all ends      It's just as long as Johnny's got his fiddle   And Jimmy's got his drums along   Then Jeffrey and me, and Bobby will be   Singing all our favorite songs      We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row   Fan the flames as the beat gets strong   It's great to be a part of something   So good that's lasted so long      Well, I saw a story in the paper   Suddenly the band's big news   The critics all like our records just fine   But they seem a bit confused      Is it folk, or rock, or country, woah   Seems like everybody cares but us   So just leave us an early wakeup call   So we don't miss the bus      And just as long as Johnny's got his fiddle   And Jimmy's got his drums along   Then Jeffrey and me, and Bobby will be   Singing all our favorite songs      We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row   Fan the flames as the beat gets strong   It's great to be a part of something   So good that's lasted so long      The band says it can't stand   My latest song, it's too personal   But my first wife's second marriage blew up   They had to get the dang thing annulled      Well, if that ain't something to sing about   You tell me what is   And we'll give it a beat and put it on the street   And we'll just might have another hit      And just as long as Johnny's got his fiddle   And Jimmy's got his drums along   Then Jeffrey and me, and Bobby will be   Singing all our favorite songs      We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row   Fan the flames as the beat gets strong   It's great to be a part of something   So good that's lasted so long   Yeah, it's great to be a part of something   So good that's lasted so long
