Lyrics
The Pictures Band
Verse 1
By-run and Robin, started it all,
In a garage on Moss Avenue, where the sands crawl.
see-sil and Margaret had a beat in their hearts,
Odessa nights, where this dream got its start.
Verse 2
I caught a ride with Chuck and Dan,
From Andrews to Odessa, to hear this band.
When the amplifiers turned on, I had to smile
I could see a future that was gonna be wild.
Chorus.
The Pictures Band, packing clubs across this land
Now an icon, with too many stories to understand
All over the U.S., around the world on military jets
The Pictures Band has a story as good as it gets
Verse 3
Chris and Marshal from January Sound,
Heard us in Waco, said, “You’ve got that sound.”
“You’re gonna be stars,” they told us that night,
In that neon bar, everything felt just right.
Verse 4
Playing for billionaires, Governors, Presidents too,
And for troops worldwide, nothing we didn’t do
Met more famous names than you can imagine,
forty-five years later and the band’s still ragin’
Chorus (reprise)
The Pictures Band, packin’ ‘em in across this land
All across Texas, to many stories to understand
Texas, the U.S., and around the world on military jets
The Pictures Band has a story as good as it gets
[lead break]
[Outro]
The Pictures Band, still goin’ strong
The Pictures Band, you can’t go wrong
