Sixties came in, more of the same
Doo-wop was still there, keeping its name
Then something happened
We were in for a change

I'd never heard that sound before
Like a railroad train slamming through the door
And we would never be the same
Anymore

And we were there
Yes, we were there
Guys without a care
In a changing world
We were there

Beatles came in like a hurricane
I Wanna Hold Your Hand drove us insane
And they kept on coming
Name after name

Brian signed us up
Got the ball rolling
Columbia took us in and we was a-rolling
And John gave us a funny name
And a song about a ball gave us fortune and fame

Sometimes, memories will fade away
But when I think of those times
They really stay
And I'm thankful I had the chance to listen and play

Cause I'd never heard that sound before
Like a railroad train slamming through the door
And we would never be the same
Anymore

And we were there
Yes, we were there
Guys without a care
In a changing world
We were there

We got on that plane
We were really trying
We played for thousands
I could hear ones crying
Chicago to Shea
To Candlestick Park
They were crazy for the Fab Four
But we made our mark

And we were there
Yes, we were there
Guys without a care
In a changing world
We were there
