Lyrics

Have You Seen My Band

We got a show tonight around 9 o’clock at a new place the papers say is gonna rock
And the stage manager calls sound check at 6PM
I roll up about half past 5; last night’s whiskey left me barely alive
Trying to remember which players I’ve got coming in
6:00 comes and goes and where my band is no one knows
and I can’t figure out why no one will answer their phone
Now I can see around the bend what looks like a drummer’s car rolling in
Busted and clanking like that dude is obviously alone
C
He said I’m sorry I’m late I had a blah blah blah
A D
I said just get to the stage I’ve been waiting on y’all

D C G
Have you seen my band? There supposed to be here
A D
I haven’t seen or heard from them but I thought I was perfectly clear
C G C G
About when and where they’re supposed to be but nobody is here but me
C D
Hey man, have you seen my band

About 8 o’clock we’re ready to roll and the sound man is pissed cause he’s lost control
And there’s nothing left to do except buy everybody a shot
First set comes off a little rough and it’s clear we’re all still kicking off the dust
We skid into a break at 10 o’clock on the dot
I hit the bar, Phil heads to his car, Andy is posting a selfie on his page
Colin’s alone staring at his phone and as the break ends I’m once again alone on the stage
He said I’m sorry I’m late I had a blah blah blah
I said just get to the stage I’ve been waiting on y’all

Chorus

C G
You’d think a bunch of grown men could learn to tell time but they don’t listen to a word I say
C D
If I was any kind of boss I’d fire every damn one but buddy have you heard them play?

Have you seen my band? They’re a hell of a crew
They piss me off a little more each day but what’s a man to do
When the music is up and they lay it down? I tell you they’re the best damn pickers in town
Hey man, have you seen my band?
