Lyrics
Some folks trust to reason, some folks trust to mightI don't trust nothing, but I know it come out right
Say it once again now, now I hope you understand
When it's done and over, Lord, a man is just a man
Playin, playin in the band
Daybreak, daybreak on the land
Some folks look for answers, others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops, whoa, just lookin for their kites
And I can tell your future, whoa, just look what's in your hand
But I can't stop for nothing, I'm just playin in the band
Playin, playin in the band
Daybreak, daybreak on the land
Standing on a tower, world at my command
You just keep turnin while I'm playin in the band
And if a man among you got no sins upon his hand
Let him cast stones at me for playin in the band
Playin, playin in the band
Daybreak, daybreak on the land
Playin, playin in the band
Daybreak, daybreak on the land
Playin, playin in the band
Daybreak, daybreak on the land
Playin, like a wave upon the sand
Daybreak, while I'm playin in the band
Guitar Tablature
