We Were There

Sixties came in, more of the same.
Doo-wop was still there, keeping its name.
Then something happened,
we were in for a change.

I'd never heard that sound before,
like a railroad train slamming through the door,
and we would never be the same,
anymore.

And we were there.
Yes, we were there.
Guys without a care
in a changing world.
We were there.

Beatles came in like a hurricane.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand drove us insane,
and they kept on coming,
name after name.

Brian signed us up,
got the ball rolling.
Columbia took us in and we was a'rolling.
And John gave us a funny name
and a song about a ball gave us fortune and fame.

Sometimes, memories will fade away,
but when I think of those times,
they really stay.
And I'm thankful I had the chance to listen and play.

Cause I'd never heard that sound before,
like a railroad train slamming through the door,
and we would never be the same,
anymore.

And we were there.
Yes, we were there.
Guys without a care
in a changing world.
We were there.

We got on that plane.
We were really trying,
we played for thousands
I could hear ones crying.
Chicago to Shea,
to Candlestick Park,
they were crazy for the Fab Four,
but we made our mark.

And we were there.
Yes, we were there.
Guys without a care
in a changing world.
We were there."
