It's year 73 and we're already hot.Young teens form a band, and give it all they got.Play the Jamboree against 50 other bands.Win third place, become known throughout the land.Shady promoter insists we gotta go, set out on a tour and back up R.E.O.We don't fall for that scam, instead do something bold.Cast our fate to the wind, do Armageddon Gold.RCA likes us but they want all control,But we're broke and can't afford a studio.Five kids learnin' how to make a stand...Life and times of the Stiffwater Band.
We're the band in demand moving mountains of gear.Crowds go wild, we grow up fast, have no fear.At the wild parties got the groupies on their knees,They're willing to serve and eager to please.Show after show, incessant rains pour.Folks show up anyway, they're always screamin' for more.Police escort from Loveland 'cause our hair is too long.The things a band goes through just to play a song!Other bands see us comin', they say "not them again!"Blow everybody off the stage and we do it often.We've set our world topsy-turvy and ablaze...Life and times of the Stiffwater days.
Got a song on a local record spot. The Stiffwater band continues to be hot...
Then came the 80s and changes galore.Members move in and out like a revolving door.The boys are now men, enjoying much success.They are well-known rivals, outshining all the rest.Ten albums of recordings, a legacy unmatched:Firehouse 400, Cycle, Ruins and Spazz.Fifty years later, still hanging out in style,Recalling with some laughter all those times with a warm smile.This is my testament, my music started here,Set me on a journey, a long and blessed career.We were loud, invicible, it was fun, it was grand!Life and times of the Stiffwater band.
