B5Of Oz rock, we were, but Dbarely of age
B5To take charge, or pack our gDuitars for the long fliAght
She'll be alrGight
B5No cash or plan, we were, crissD-crossing the states
B5In some van, we were c-c-coDoking our beans
B5On the block while the moDtor was hot
Something's goAt to blow, let's get to the Gshow
AGive us half an inch, 
AWe'll be tackin'on a mile
AGive us a half stage, 
AWe'll start up a rampage

In some van, we were c-c-cooking our beans

B5 D

On the block while the motor was hot

Reset the stage, we were, out rattling the cage

With each show, we were

Out hawkin' them shirts

For more lights

Till 'Shine' hit the brights

And we saw your faces

And we got new bassists

Good and the lame, we were

Spinning our drums

Like a dial we were,

Blowing up the domes

From a pile,

It worked for awhile

If yours didn't rise,

We apologize

All we got to give is a God-given drive

He keeps us movin'

He keeps on provin'

Put on your back pack

Go on your own now,

God'll use anything

Check it and see
