Zac Brown Band - Lance's Song lyrics

Doing what you love has a high price to pay
Some put on a suit, but he ran the other way
Drums drown out the yuppies
And the one's who could not dream
Because the freedom music gave him
Was worth more than anything

They do not know what they got
Until it is gone like it or not
You live on love you try to do what is right
We are all here waiting
For our silver invitation
To the big band in the sky

Rolling down the windows
Trying hard to fight the sleep
Money is never much for a band in Tennessee
Another night of playing
To a crowd with no ears
Want to hear the songs they know
And fill their bellies full of beer

They do not know what they got
Until it is gone like it or not
You live on love you try to do what is right
We are all here waiting
For our silver invitation
To the big band in the sky

And when he closed his eyes
Fell into a dream that never dies
And when the thunder comes
You can hear his kick drum in the sky
Feel the rain fall from our eyes

They do not know what they got
Until it is gone like it or not
You live on love you try to do what is right
We are all here waiting
For our silver invitation
To the big band in the sky
