Once I had a girlfriend, she loved to hear me sing

But I left her in Nashville, flew west on a silver plane

My family can't kid me anymore

They never really liked my songs before

Now I'm all grown up and I'm a lonely man

And there's no one to sing for but the band



No there's no one to sing for but the band

They always say I'm singin' grand

But if you listen close you'll understand

Why there's no one to sing for but the band



I had a friend in Houston, thought I was somethin' else

She moved on to another town in spite of the way she felt

My family can't kid me anymore

They never really liked my songs before

Now I'm all grown up I'm a full grown lonely man

And there's no one to sing for but the band



No there's no one to sing for but the band

They always say I'm doin' grand

But if you listen close you'll understand

Why there's no one to sing for but the band



No there's no one to sing for but the band

They always say I'm singin' grand

But if you listen close you'll understand

Why there's no one to sing for but the band
