Travelin' Band (Live From Radio City) Lyrics
John Fogerty
Lyrics
Seven Thirty Seven comin' out of the sky
Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I wanna move
Playin' in a travelin' band, yeah
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand
Playin' in a travelin' band
Take me to the hotel, baggage gone, oh well
Come on, come on, won't you get me to the room
I wanna move
Playin' in a travelin' band
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand
Playin' in a travelin' band
Listen to the radio, talkin' 'bout the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
Wanna move
Playin' in a travelin' band
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand
Playin' in a travelin' band
Well here we come again on a Saturday night
With your fussin' and a fightin' won't you get me to the rhyme
I wanna move
Playin' in a travelin' band
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, tryin' to get a hand
Playin' in a travelin' band
Well I'm playin' in a travelin' band
Playin' in a travelin' band
Won't you get me, take my hand
Well, I'm playin' in a travelin' band
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land
Tryin' to get a hand
Playin' in a travelin' band
