Partners Brothers & Friends Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The promoter says he wants to cancel 

'Cause there ain't enough tickets sold 

The air conditioner on the bus just broke 

And I can't shake this cold 

The single lost the bullet 

The singer's losin' his wife 

Well, I might be crazy but I wouldn't change 

A single thing about this life 

Sometimes we feel like champions 

Sometimes we just can't win 

Sometimes our records hit the top of the charts 

Or the discount bargain bins 

Through all those 20 years of touring 

We've remained partners, brothers and friends 

We're keep it together 'cause we're sure 

We're gonna be big time, before it all ends

It's just as long as Johnny's got his fiddle 

And Jimmy's got his drums along 

Then Jeffrey and me, and Bobby will be 

Singing all our favorite songs 

We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row 

Fan the flames as the beat gets strong 

It's great to be a part of something 

So good that's lasted so long 

Well, I saw a story in the paper 

Suddenly the band's big news 

The critics all like our records just fine 

But they seem a bit confused 

Is it folk, or rock, or country, woah 

Seems like everybody cares but us 

So just leave us an early wakeup call 

So we don't miss the bus 

Photos 

And just as long as Johnny's got his fiddle 

And Jimmy's got his drums along 

Then Jeffrey and me, and Bobby will be 

Singing all our favorite songs 

We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row 

Fan the flames as the beat gets strong 

It's great to be a part of something 

So good that's lasted so long 

The band says it can't stand 

My latest song, it's too personal 

But my first wife's second marriage blew up 

They had to get the dang thing annulled 

Well, if that ain't something to sing about 

You tell me what is 

And we'll give it a beat and put it on the street 

And we'll just might have another hit 

And just as long as Johnny's got his fiddle 

And Jimmy's got his drums along 

Then Jeffrey and me, and Bobby will be 

Singing all our favorite songs 

We'll catch the fire from the folks in the front row 

Fan the flames as the beat gets strong 

It's great to be a part of something 

So good that's lasted so long 

Yeah, it's great to be a part of something 

So good that's lasted so long
