"Banjo Boy" by Ryan Shupe & The RubberBand (Ryan Shupe)

1st Verse

I want to be a rock star
And travel really far
I bought me a big, expensive car
And make lots of money
And find me a honey
And live in a nice, big house
Where it's sunny with a pool
But I'll be cool
I'll always have a gig
'Cause I'll be big
I'll have parties and fans
And places to go
Only problem is
I play the banjo
I play the banjo

2nd Verse

I'm a post Hee-Haw mover
A folkadelic punk rock groover
A cross between Bela Fleck and Eddie Vedder, but better
I'll win a Grammy for the way I pick
I'll be an instrumental monster with tons of new licks
And all the babes will love new sellout shows
The only problem is
I play the banjo
I play the banjo

Chorus

(Well) (But) I play the banjo
Play the banjo
Play the banjo
(Well) I play the banjo
I play the banjo...

Bridge

I say hear me, boy
Say hear my rhyme
I'm pickin' on the banjo all the time
I say hear me, boy
Hear my song
I'm pickin' on my banjo all day long
Pick it

3rd Verse

I'll have a Learjet and a limousine
'Cause everywhere I go my fans will scream
'Hey Banjo Boy, we love you
I wish that we could all play the banjo, too'
And you'll see me on the TV talk shows
With Dave, and Conan, and Jay Leno
The only problem is
I play the banjo

(Chorus Out)



   "Dream Big" by Ryan Shupe & The RubberBand (Ryan Shupe)

1st Verse

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes
'Cause better days are sure to come
And when you smile be sure to smile wide
And don't let them know that they have won
And when you walk, walk with pride
Don't show the hurt inside
Because the pain will soon be gone

Chorus

And when you dream, dream big
As big as the ocean blue
('Cause) when you dream it might come true
(And) when you dream, dream big (dream big, dream big)

2nd Verse

And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud
'Cause it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the beauty
All around and in yourself
And it will help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength
To help you carry on
When the troubles come your way

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat 2nd Verse)

(Repeat Chorus)
