๐ Lyrics
Earl had a dream every night for a week
He was thirty again and he still had his teeth
And he lived in a bus not a damn nursing home
Played in a band had a life on the road
Well he looked out the window at the dark moonless night
And way off in the distance saw the world shining bright
Squinted his eyes at the time that had gone
Bright lights and stages and rock and roll songs
And he dreamed it was the summer of 1954
Fender guitars and amps on the floor
Ah and every red-blooded girl in those days
Well they all knew about Earl and the songs that he played
This is the story of a very old man
Back when he rolled with the Dinosaur Band
Well he picked up his walker and he walked to the floor
The nurse was asleep she had not locked the door
And he escaped down the long road that they wheeled him in
Stuck his thumb in the air with a new freedom grin
He got dropped at a bar on the far side of town
Not a quarter in sight not a payphone around
The band started playing and he watched the whole set
Then the guitarist came over and sat down next to him
Well I play guitar too said Earl with a smile
But my fingers aren't calloused it's been long while
The boy said well feel free to give mine a spin
Never thinking old Earl would take it from him
Ah but to his surprise and to everyone else
Earl got on that stage without anyone's help
And when he plucked at the strings and put his hands on the gears
He felt something tear like seventy years
A big fog was lifted
His wrinkles erased
And every jaw dropped at the song that he played
Well he finished the song and he jumped off the stage
The whole crowd jumping up and down in a rage
A big silver tear rolled down his face
It had been so long since he felt this way
How familiar it was
How time had stood still
Seventy years just a walk up a hill
He was the last one who still walked the land
The last living member of the Dinosaur Band
Well that tip jar got fuller night after week
And ol' Earl had em all on the edge of their seats
And one day some national newsmen rolled in
Shot moving pictures of Earl and his grin
And that 54 Strat full of old lightning riffs
Oh what sight it was and it is
When a hundred-year old man jumps on the stage
And rips out your heart with the songs that he plays
Ah Leno and Letterman Ferguson too
They Played Jimmy Kimmel put the crowd right through the roof
Back in a bus touring all fifty states
Strung out on prune juice and jars of Ben Gay
This is the story of a real special man
Out with the New Texas Dinosaur Band
Ah play it one more time for us Earl
Ah somewhere out near Gallup I think
That old dinosaur finally became extinct
He had his thumb in the air with a new freedom grin
Off to the clouds to find his old friends
Earl had a dream every night for a week
He was thirty again and he still had his teeth
And he lived in a bus not a damn nursing home
Played in a band had a life on the road
He was thirty again and he still had his teeth
And he lived in a bus not a damn nursing home
Played in a band had a life on the road
Well he looked out the window at the dark moonless night
And way off in the distance saw the world shining bright
Squinted his eyes at the time that had gone
Bright lights and stages and rock and roll songs
And he dreamed it was the summer of 1954

Ah and every red-blooded girl in those days
