Playing in the Band (Live at Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA, September 16, 1972) Lyrics
[Intro]
Three, five, seven, eight, nine, ten
[Verse 1]
Some folks trust to reason
Others trust to might
I don't trust nothing
But I know it come out right
Say it once again now
Oh, I hope you understand
When it's done and over
Lord, a man is just a man
[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
[Verse 2]
Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops
Just looking for their kites
But I can tell your future
Oh, look what's in your hand
But I can't stop for nothing
I'm just playing in the band
Three, five, seven, eight, nine, ten
[Verse 1]
Some folks trust to reason
Others trust to might
I don't trust nothing
But I know it come out right
Say it once again now
Oh, I hope you understand
When it's done and over
Lord, a man is just a man
[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
[Verse 2]
Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops
Just looking for their kites
But I can tell your future
Oh, look what's in your hand
But I can't stop for nothing
I'm just playing in the band
[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Standing on a tower
World at my command
You just keep a-turning
While I'm playing in the band
And if a man among you
Got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me
For playing in the band
[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybrеak on the land
[Instrumental Break]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Standing on a tower
World at my command
You just keep a-turning
While I'm playing in the band
And if a man among you
Got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me
For playing in the band
[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybrеak on the land
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybrеak on the land
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
Playing
Like a wave upon the sand
Daybreak
While I'm playing in the band
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
We're gonna take a short break, and we'll be back in just a few minutes, and we'll see you all then, so hang loose
Playing

Like a wave upon the sand
Daybreak
While I'm playing in the band

We're gonna take a short break, and we'll be back in just a few minutes, and we'll see you all then, so hang loose
