40 Year Brotherhood Lyrics
40 Year Brotherhood - The Brymers
I'm gonna tell you a little story
Between the San Francisco Bay
And the Hollywood Hills
In the middle of the San Joaquin
A sound was born
In a little carport back in 1963
It all started in a little garage
The more they played
The better they got
It took a little time
And a whole lot of love
'Cause a new sound was coming out
Ah yes it was
Started doing dances every Saturday night
Worked real hard just to get just right
Rock'n'roll music underneath the lights
Just doing what they loved to do
Guys were on the road
Was a 1/8 of a man
Wasn't doing much of nothing
When my telephone rang
I was asked
If I wanted to play in the band
I quit school packed up everything I had
We made a living playing one nightstands
Were the 40 year brotherhood
The Brymers Band
After all these years back together again
Doing what we love to do
I went and
Joined a rock'n'roll band
At the ripe old age of 17
At the wink of an eye I was making
More money with Bill Sluggo
Dickie Lee and me
Aah yeah yes I was
They called me Skinny right
From the start
They taught me things
That only come from the heart
As close as family could ever be Wild Bill
Sluggo Dickie Lee and me
We made a living
Playing one nightstands
Were the 40 year brotherhood
The Brymers Band
After all these years back together again
Doing what we love to do
Lord I went and joined a rock'n'roll band
At the ripe old age of 17
In the wink of an eye
I was making more money
Than Bill Sluggo Dickie Lee and me
Aah yeah
I went and joined a rock'n'roll band
At the ripe old age of 17
In the wink of an eye
I was making more money
More money than I'd of seen
And in a little band playing one nights stands
Were the 40 year brotherhood
The Brymers band
After all these years back together again
Doing what we love to do
OH
I went and joined me some rock'n'roll band
At the ripe old age of 17
In the a wink of an eye
I was making more money
More money than I'd ever seen
