On the road for forty days,
Last night in little rock put me in a haze.
Sweet, sweet connie -- doin her act,
She had the whole show and thats a natural fact.
Up all night with freddy king,
I got to tell you pokers his thing.
A-booze n ladies keep me right,
As long as we can make it to the show tonight.

Chorus
Were an american band.
Were an american band.
Were coming to your town, well help you party it down.
Were an american band.

Four young chaquitas in omaha,
Was waitin for the band to return from the show.
Feelin good, feelin right, its saturday night,
The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight.
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan,
They was out to meet the boys in the band.
They said, come on, dudes, lets get it on,
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down.

Chorus

GFRxR created their own genre of music & The People reacted enormously by becoming the first band to sell 10 consecutive platinum albums & breaking ticket sales records wherever they played. fattdaddy3755, WALNUTS52, & myself are trying to correct the fact that GFRxR are ignored by The R&R HOF. Please join us by signing the petition in this video's description. Thanks everyone!

why is this guy singing--let mark sing he was grand funk

[bokadude]

Grand Funk went against the grain. First and foremost they weren't British which in 1971 seemed to be a big problem for music critics and the rock elite. They were high energy, and they could cut hit records. The assholes like Rolling Stone would have loved the funk if they were degenerates, homosexuals, or junkies. Fuck the rock and roll hall of fame anyway Grand Funk rocks!

@ccrstucook any can play those--farner does fine on tour by himself--again he is gfr=the others have been replaced

[ccrstucook]

@iceaxe56 You said that Farner was GFR this song was written by Don Brewer , for this reason he catn sing this song , have you evre listen the bass and the durms in songs like Amiless Lady , Heartbreaker , TNC please dont be ignorant

[47tooter]

Mark and his band should just play mark farner sung tunes ! and don and mels band should just sing don brewer tunes ! Cause this sucks.

[metalmaster1992]

Mark, you are a legend!!!!!! you're the best!!!!

[macmemo]

el sonido esta horrible, lastima porque es buena cancion

[richard52402]

hey Bokadude i so agree with you. I remember like every year in the 70s Rolling Stone mag would always list GFR as the worst band of the year. They had to be listening to some one else..

[tonlo92]

people complain about Mark singing this...its the same as Mel & Don's new band singing Closer to Home. To me Mark was Grand Funk

[GFRFan12]

So happy, im seeing them 2nd row in july!

Good Vocal - but it's not Brewer. No Substitute for the original members.
