With the Band - Dierks Bentley

My daddy hated that rock? n? roll

So I know I wasn? t supposed to go

To the loud devil music show

But I wound up in the snake pit with my best friend

And when the lights came up

We both decided that we? d try our luck

At gettin? back to where the real show was

We were backstage, under-age, hangin? with the drummer

When a big dude attitude grabbed me by the collar

I looked at him and said,? It? s all good, brother"

"I? m with the band, hired on as a local stage hand

The one in charge of the microphone stands"

And the lead singer told me to get the one in his dressin? room

We might even have a beer or two

Don? t worry? bout the backstage pass, man it? s cool

I? m with the band, I? m with the band

I can? t believe that we made it this far

Country singin?, bangin? loud guitars

The biggest stages to the smallest bars

We were cold beer drinkin?, what was I thinkin?

Just the other night at the after party rockin? just right

This little country girl caught my eye

She was backstage, legal-age, hangin? with the drummer

When a big dude attitude grabbed her by the collar

I looked at him and said,? It? s all good, brother"

"She? s with the band, hired on as a local stage hand

The one in charge of the microphone stands"

And the lead singer told her to get the one in his dressin? room

We might even have a beer or two

Don? t worry? bout the backstage pass, man, it? s cool

She? s with the band

Well tomorrow is another town

But you know we love a party crowd

So if you got the right stuff we? ll meet you on the bus

But you better get the lingo down

Just tell? em that you? re with the band

Hired on as a local stage hand

You know we got a lot of microphone stands

And the lead singer told you to get the one in his dressin? room

We might even have a beer or two

Don? t worry about the backstage pass, y? all, it? s cool

You? re with the band

You? re with the band

You? re with the band

You? re with the band
