Just Another Dance Band

Just another dance band Playing in the midlands Lonely rock and roll man Tearing up the bandstand The best he can You know New York City's bout twice as far away As some Ohio farmland that resembles Ioway There's no reason to be squandering the thoughts We've all been pondering How long you gonna treat us this way You know the ballrooms way up north The people there don't jive Hang coats on pipes and furnaces The bathroom is a dive Because the Northwood savages are way below the averages A celebration's due if we survive Rolling down that road Rolling down that lonely, lonely road To know the crowds that we play for There's two kinda to be found Some that make you feel good, the rest you feel a clown But like the Mississippi shore We'll beat the rock and roll some more Hoping people come around
