No One To Sing For (But The Band) — текст песни (Merle Haggard)

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
