Backroom boys

Time I got myself back home
Last kiss in the bus stop as we wait
You're always on my mind
But it's time to go back home
You got the bus from town at 10:00
Adventures 'round the bend
The night is coming down
But I don't wanna go home
I know where I can go
I'll go where I am known

By my older brother's friends
Too young to go on my own
You got the vans and the trucks outside
Blues music on my mind
The boys hand me a sneaky beer
They said, "Hide it from my bro"
They said the band's about to show
So I sit in the front row
'Cause time's not on my side
Start beating on the drum so loud

Hey Mister, don't you stop
The song you're singing me tonight
Just play on your guitar
And then everything feels alright
Hey Mister, don't you feel
Like this feeling in my mind
Like the Devil crossed my path
And lit my life on fire
Yeah, I'm glad that I was alive
When the backroom boys ran wild

Smoke and drinks and company
And dancing as they got
Merry and stoned
I'm just a kid, but I just know
This is where I need to go
Nothing makes me feel alive
Like the sound of rock 'n' roll
Not the time of mobile phones
So I'm free to be and roam
The Mount Pleasant is no more
It's embedded in my soul, so loud

Hey Mister, don't you stop
The song you're singing me tonight
Just play on your guitar
And then everything feels alright
Hey Mister, don't you feel
Like this feeling in my mind
Like the Devil crossed my path
And lit my life on fire
Yeah, I'm glad that I was alive
When the backroom boys ran wild, so wild

Hey Mister, don't you stop
The song you're singing me tonight
Just play on your guitar
And then everything feels alright
Hey Mister, don't you feel
Like this feeling in my mind
Like the Devil crossed my path
And lit my life on fire
Yeah, I'm glad that I was alive
When the backroom boys ran wild
Yeah, I'm glad, I'm glad that I was alive
When the backroom boys ran wild
