Big Band Days

Joe Allen

[Verse 1]
Down the dusty road from our Brazos home we made our break away
We didn't have much to carry except each other along the way
'Cause Red he played the violin and Round Boy played the bass
And me I picked guitar and did the singin'

[Chorus]
Lord I'm looking back to them big band days of mine
When me and Red and Round Boy, one time we sounded fine
'Cause Red he played the violin and Round Boy played the bass
And me I picked guitar and did the singin'

[Verse 2]
Now we had dreams going for us so we got us a job
Bought a car, picking in tall cotton playing music in a bar
But Round Boy he took to drinking and Red went onto other things
And me well I picked guitar and did the singin'

[Verse 3]
Then one night I tried to fire the whole band
Well them boys was just getting plumb out of hand
Growing out their hair and picking "Watermelon Man"
Red he tried to steal the show
Round Boy played every damn bass lick that he know'd
Well I couldn't even hear my guitar and my singin'

[Chorus]
Lord I'm looking back to them big band days of mine
When me and Red and Round Boy, one time we sounded fine
'Cause Red he played the violin and Round Boy played the bass
And me I picked guitar and did the singin'

[Verse 4]
Now they don't know just exactly what happened yet
But I'm sure it's something that they won't soon forget
They way that our little band got busted up back in Wichita
Well Round Boy he found him a mother-in-law
Red got in some trouble with the law
I wonder who called the sheriff and did the singin'

[Chorus]
Lord I'm looking back to them big band days of mine
When me and Red and Round Boy, one time we sounded fine
'Cause Red he played the violin and Round Boy played the bass
And me I picked guitar and did the singin'
Lord I'm looking back to them big band days of mine
When me and Red and Round Boy, one time we sounded fine
'Cause Red he played the violin and Round Boy played the bass
And me I picked guitar and did the singin'
