The Hookhunters - Roadie for the Band Lyrics

I'm a roadie and that's my job, I move equipment and turn knobs, behind the scenes
I set up the heavy amplifiers - you'll usually see me with a pair of pliers, and a Sharpie
People see the band as stars, but I know who they really are they're just folks like you and me
Tonight they're playin' at my favorite place and just as soon as I tune this bass, I'm gonna look for her
She shows up every time we're here
I love to see her dancin' and drinkin' beer

I know a girl in North Carolina, I've never quite seen a girl look finer
I can't explain how I feel when I see this chick from Chapel Hill
She stares at the singer who's such a nerd, she sings every line word for word
I'm her greatest fan - but I'm just the roadie for the band

We've played the Triangle a lot before, and every time we do she's at the door, waiting to come in
Always with a group of her friends, singin' out load above the din, playing air guitar
She came back stage after the show, lookin' for the singer but she didn't know I was watchin' her
I stay in the shadows I know my place but I just can't resist such a pretty face
So I come out and talk to her
I'm kinda nervous 'cause I'm not her star
I'm just the one who tunes the guitars

I know a girl in North Carolina, I've never quite seen a girl look finer
I can't explain how I feel when I see this chick from Chapel Hill
She stares at the singer who's such a nerd, she sings every line word for word
I'm her greatest fan - but I'm just the roadie for the band

I'm trying to get her to notice me but she's in her own world
I gotta bust a move real soon - I just gotta get to know that Carolina girl

The band grabs a drink and I tag along - the gear's packed up and so are the songs
We're kickin' back on Franklin Street
She loves music, this country girl she's beautiful and she rocks my world and I dance with her
I give her my number, she gives me a smile
But then goes and hangs out with the band for a while - huh

I know a girl in North Carolina, I've never quite seen a girl look finer
I can't explain how I feel when I see this chick from Chapel Hill
She stares at the singer who's such a nerd, she sings every line word for word
I'm her greatest fan - but I'm just the roadie for the band
Yeah I'm just the roadie for the band
I'm checking mics, tuning strings, plugging in chords and fixin' things
While the girl from Chappell Hill is on my mind
