For The Sake Of The Song Lyrics

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
