Boston Lyrics

Album: Boston

Rock and Roll Band Lyrics

Well, we were just another band out of Boston

On the road to try to make ends meet

Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars 

And we practiced right on out in the street

No, we didn't have much money

We barely made enough to survive

But when we got up on stage and got ready to play 

People came alive. 

Rock and roll band 

Everybody's waitin'

Gettin' crazy 

Anticipating love and music

Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis

We were getting pretty good at the game 

People stood in line and didn't seem to mind

You know everybody knew our name

Livin' on rock-n-roll music

Never worry 'bout the things we were missing

When we got up on the stage and got ready to play 

Everybody'd listen. 

Rock and roll band 

Everybody's waitin'

Gettin' crazy 

Anticipating love and music

Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Playin' for a week in Rhode Island

A man came to the stage one night 

He smoked a big cigar

Drove a Cadillac car

And said, "Boys, I think this bands outta-sight

Sign a record company contract

You know I've got great expectations

When I hear you on the car radio 

You're goin' to be a sensation!" 

Rock and roll band 

Everybody's waitin'

Gettin' crazy 

Anticipating love and music

Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
