lyrics

I play guitar and I play other stuff
My mom was a banjo, my dad drove a truck
We started a band back when we were young
32 years might seem old to some

Jon had a pen and he wrote down some words
His dad was a preacher his mom taught him chords
He had a brother in law, black sheep of the town
And a curse that could only be broken in song

We're Jealous Brother, we're hoping you'll come along
We're Jealous Brother, on I-tunes and on Amazon

Jessica plays violin with a bow
Someone stepped on her fiddle once at a show
We used to play under a different name
But the pressure was pain now we hide from our fame

We're Jealous Brother, we're hoping you'll come along
We're Jealous Brother, on Spotify and on Amazon

The Rhythm section is done by committee
Some might commit if they weren't so busy
You'll never see them in one place at a time
If you show me your tattoo, I'll show you mine.

Barry Hill is a drummer
Mike Mangan is another drummer
Jose Ferreira eats jelly beans
Dave Lehnen ties the room together

Through the good times and through better times
We search for the truth and avoid easy rhymes (no, you didn't)
Melody, harmony, instruments tuned
Guitar chords melting ice on the moon

We're Jealous Brother, we're hoping you'll come along
We're Jealous Brother, on Spotify and on Amazon
We're Jealous Brother, we're gonna write you a song
We're Jealous Brother, always three and a half minutes long
