It's two o'clock in the morning, heading north on Highway 5
We played well tonight, we sounded tight, and the crowd was loud and live
If you wonder why we do it that's just something that I can't explain
It's not the money, it's not the girls, it's not fortune it's not fame

It's all about making music, it's all about having fun
About loud guitars and crowded bars, and playing songs that the crowd demands
It's about going to bed at three A.M., a sore back and achin' hands
About blues and soul, rock and roll, it's all about playing in the band

I've got a good job, make good money, paying bills is never in doubt
Got good kids, love my wife, so it's not about stepping out
We're never gonna be big rock stars or see our face on MTV
There's something more to it and that's why we do it
And that's always been enough for me

It's all about making music, it's all about having fun
About loud guitars and crowded bars, and doing those one night stands
It's about going to bed at three A.M., a sore back and achin' hands
About blues and soul, rock and roll, it's all about playing in the band
