Letra For the sake of the song Corbin/Hanner

For the sake of the song

This place ain't fit for a jukebox, let alone a band

We're lookin' good in our sequined shirts and neon tans

Turn down the lights, let's strike up the band boys, it's Saturday night

This smokey air can lead to love affairs and at least one fight

I strap on my guitar feelin' a twinge of that old stage fright

Ready and willin' to do it right--for the sake of the song

Play the music, let the rhythms flow, pour out your soul

Do a little country, rhythm and blues and rock and roll

Hand me that towel, God Almighty ain't it hot up here

Hey Waitress, would you bring me another shot and a beer

Rainbow of color forms in the sweat fallin' in my eyes

Reminding me of the tears I've cried Bfor the sake of the song

Spotlight the singer making him look like he's all alone

While he's making love to the melody with the microphone

Do one for us and one for the crowd, they want to dance

That girl down there, she's looking up here with signs of romance

Harmonies changing keys, guitar playing fast and strong

And we're ready to do it all night long--for the sake of the song

For the sake of the song
