In the beginning, all we wanted was to make a few songs And maybe catch a few girls along the way To make it big, we headed west on our last dime But we never forgot that without loyal fans, we were done We were brothers in music just trying to survive. We were sure success was just one more day away. One brother soon left and another joined our ranks With a new song in our hearts, our first fans took notice We hit the club circuit and pounded the pavement We were willing to do whatever it took to be noticed We even made ourselves better looking than our girls But it was the music and live show that spoke to the fans The cat dragged us onto the national scene The critics panned us for the way we looked But did they even listen to what we had to say? We cried tough, talked dirty, and never forgot about the fans We hit the road with fallen angels and parents that don't dance Good times and roses became the summer's anthems Multi-platinum and Number 1's, we had the golden touch We kept partying and performing for our fans Flesh and blood became the biggest yet We rode the wind to find things that almost tore us apart We sacrificed the bop for a brawl and sent a brother off in tragedy We were bad boys, but we never forgot our fans A new member came and left just as quickly A new brother brought the blues, but it wasn't the same Our brotherhood was rapidly falling apart We needed time to heal and hoped our fans would understand Other things kept us away from the stage for years A different story for each of the four original brothers Over time the four individual paths would cross But many thought we had forgotten all about our fans The urge to perform live was an insistent one Critics labeled us a has-been without hearing a note But why would we start listening to them after all these years? Sold out arenas nationwide proved our fans loved us still Five tours and two albums later, we are still together Sometimes brotherhood is hard to find A tragic fire lost our gear, our stage, but not our spirit For as long as we can, we will keep right on performing for our fans.
