What we wish still was and wasn't.

lyrics

Let's Get The Band Back Together
Written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2016

Let’s get the band back together
For another round of drinks
At that new bar on the corner
Where the old bar used to be
Let’s have a couple rounds
And a couple more
Glad the house is coming along
That’s what you’re working for


Then the termites moved in with their cigarettes and floppy hats
Their penchant for the housing market
Before the landlords hiked the rent,
Sold the lot beneath our feet
And the barstools of the old bar
Where the new bar is that we can meet

Let’s get the band back together

It’s too hot to sit on the porch
Like we did that summer
It’s just as hot as it was then
But we don’t see each other
Let’s get the band back together
Let’s get the band back together
And talk about

When you loved to play rock’n’roll

Let’s get the band back together
And raise a house divided
Between what’s yours and what’s mine and what’s compromising
Let’s go a couple rounds
On the kitchen floor
Punch a hole in the drywall
That’s what the spackle’s for

And then the termites moved and now I pay for parking
I’ve been eating in a lot, just to try and stop it
And now the roof is caving in
I feel I’m getting old
I think about the time we spent in sepia and casiotone

You loved to play rock’n’roll
