Lyrics

Did You hear about those guys who use to play all the time
they're getting together next saturday night
I'm heading dwon to their old home base
I want to be the first one in the place
so I can see just fine
I heard they went to New Orleans and even one time met a queen
but the big picture never materalized
I remember so many of their shows, they use to raise the rooftops blow by blow
Getting your money's worth everynight

take me back to the scene of the nevre ending dream
Dancing to the music all night long
And you know it's a shame that they never made the game
But still we cry for more from the Local Dinosaur

You know I really thought they'd make it when
that record company signed them up again
and made a record I still have to this day
and though success it never paid, they went on rocking anyway
to standing room only, what more can you say?

take me back to the scene of the nevre ending dream
Dancing to the music all night long
And you know it's a shame that they never made the game
But still we cry for more from the Local Dinosaur

The song has a good honky tonk plus modern country feel.The lyrics told a story and were relatable. It reminds me of 90's country.
