The Allman Brothers Band

The Allman Brothers Band is an American rock/blues band once based in Macon, Georgia. The band was formed in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, organ, songwriting), plus Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). While the band has been called the principal architects of Southern rock, they also incorporate elements of blues, jazz, and country music, and their live shows have jam band-style improvisation and instrumental songs. more »

We've been through hell and high water
Ready to go through it all again
As long as we've got a quarter between us all
We're gonna have money to spend, oh
Kicked down the doors in New Orleans
We got busted at Grove Hill where nobody goes
And Long Bob drove us to the Badlands
You can bet your ass we're gonna make it
down to tomorrow night's show

We took time by the horns
Cryin' out loud
Stood there naked up there in front of the crowd
Been a million miles
On a lost highway
They might name a street after us one of these days

Oh, we've seen the good times, we've seen the bad
Worse time we ever seen, is the best some folks ever had
And the Stone mowed us down, with a cold-hearted quill
But we ain't changed our ways, and I guess we never will

We took time by the horns
Cryin' out loud
Stood there naked up there in front of the crowd
Been a million miles
On a lost highway
They might name a street after us one of these days.
