[Intro]
Indie bands on tour, take one
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
On a San Francisco roof
There’s a pencil group
See the drum kit in the band
See the duct tape on the stand

[Verse 2]
On a West Virginia lawn
Salt Like City band goes on
See the mattress on the floor
See the tip jar by the door

[Chorus]
All day, driving far with NPR
All night, mapping chords on nixon boards
Indie bands on tour

[Verse 3]
In a Omaha backyard
A Gainsville gal is strumming hard
See the pedals at her shoe
See the lightbulbs hanging loose
[Verse 4]
In a Bronxville screening space
A Texas kid sound checks a bass
On an endless human search
With the drummer selling merch

[Chorus]
All day, driving west the GPS
All night, coffee brown in collegе gowns
Touring all around

[Verse 5]
In a basement with two lamps
Therе’s 4 bands and there’s no amps
See them find a place to eat
See them save the gas receipt

[Verse 6]
And in the south by southwest heat
A Portland band rolls down the street
To an alleyway so dark there
You can load in but you can’t park there

[Chorus]
All day, no stop ’til the ???
All night, unload and get the wi-fi code
Band’s on the road
[Verse 7]
At a Detroit college gym
A New York city band plugs in
They got no soundcheck but they’re cool
They got one big fan at the school
That showed up way ahead of time
They emailed ahead the ???
Tour book says tomorrow’s close
Travelling up to the East Coast
400 bucks the cheque’s been mailed
Every song gets really nailed
And the merch is flying out
And that’s what life’s about

[Chorus]
All day
All night
