Borrowed Van (Almost Famous)

Hey! Hey! One, two, three, four! Played a show last Friday night To seventeen people and a broken light The bartender asked if we could turn it down Tyler nearly knocked his damn cymbals out Got paid in beer and a parking fine Noah on the bass swears we're doing fine Loaded the gear at a quarter to three Then drove through the night with nowhere to be And we don't know where we're going But we're sure we'll get somewhere Two guitars, a borrowed van And absolutely nothing planned We're almost famous At least that's what we say Playing to an empty room Like it's the Garden every day We're almost famous Just a couple miles away From a crowd that knows the words And sings 'em right someday Oh-oh-oh, we're almost famous Oh-oh-oh, we're on our way Drove six hours for a forty-minute set The sound guy didn't know our names yet I lost my voice by the second song So the crowd sang the words and got 'em wrong Miles's amp blew halfway through We kept on playing like we meant to Then the owner turned the lights back on Said, "You boys done? It's nearly dawn" And we don't know where we're going But we're sure we'll get somewhere Two guitars, a borrowed van And absolutely nothing planned We're almost famous At least that's what we say Playing to an empty room Like it's the Garden every day We're almost famous Just a couple miles away From a crowd that knows the words And sings 'em right someday Oh-oh-oh, we're almost famous Oh-oh-oh, we're on our way Maybe we'll never make the radio Maybe nobody learns our names Maybe we'll be playing little bars Till we're old and going gray But if I had to do it all again I'd still be here with my three best friends In a van that barely starts Playing songs that'll never chart We're almost famous At least that's what we say Playing to an empty room Like it's the Garden every day We're almost famous Just a couple miles away From a crowd that knows the words And sings 'em right someday Oh-oh-oh, we're almost famous Oh-oh-oh, we're on our way Hey! Hey! Almost famous! Hey! Hey! We're on our way!
