[00:08.99]A new song [00:20.91]I stepped outside the backstage door to breathe some nicotine [00:27.90]And maybe read my mailbox, see if I can read the screen [00:34.00]Then I heard a click, the stage door lock [00:38.27]I knew just what that meant [00:40.77]I'm gonna have to walk around the block if I wanna get it in [00:46.01]Wristband, my man, you've got to have a wristband [00:52.04]If you don't have a wristband, you don't get through the door [00:58.64]Wristband, my man, you've got to have a wristband [01:04.17]And if you don't have a wristband,you don't get through the door [01:12.35]I can explain it, I don't know why my heart beats like a fist [01:18.24]When I meet some dude with an attitude saying "hey, you can't do that, or this" [01:25.39]And the man was large, a well-dressed six-foot-eight [01:31.62]And he's acting like Saint Peter standing guard at the pearly...

I don't need a wristband [01:56.21]My band is on the bandstand, my axe is on the floor" [02:02.08]I mean it's just...
