There’s a mellow mushroom in my hometown
They pay for covers, fifty an hour
you can get in underage if you’re playing
Bartender’s a cool guy

Every other Thursday we’d swap songs
switch off between guitar and drums
Death cab, Beatles and originals
Spend our money on the studio

We shoulda made a record and played to nobody at any venue
Sometimes when I’m on stage, man I still miss you

We shoulda been in a band, man
Why’d I have to be so mean when we were 18?
Why’d you get high about it
I’m just glad we got to rehab
Cause me and you were the man, man
Why’d I have to go off and move to the city
I know you missed me
Promise we’re doing the best that we can
I just think 
We shoulda been in a band, man
We shoulda been in a band, man
We shoulda been in a band, man
We shoulda been in a band

We always liked the same girls
Just a couple years apart
But we never dated em
We just went to the skate park 

Used to play stop this train
Taught me how to fingerpick
I always thought I’d open up for you
Or just be your guitarist

But I remember the night I realized I couldn’t hire you anymore
I still wanna pour that bottle on the Ravenite floor

We shoulda been in a band, man
Why’d I have to be so mean when we were 18?
Why’d you get high about it
I’m just glad we got to rehab
Cause you and me were the man, man
I think the world shoulda heard those songs
It’s been so long
And we’ve always been doing the best that we can, man
But I just think 
We shoulda been in a band, man
We shoulda been in a band, man
We shoulda been in a band, man
We shoulda been in a band

I screamed at you for calling the evangelical bluff
Well I don’t think Jesus woulda got pissed cause you weren’t Christian enough

He woulda been in your band, man
He woulda got in a van, man
I haven’t seen you since then, damn
We shoulda been in a band
