Playing in the Band (Live in Veneta, Oregon, August 27, 1972) lyrics

[Intro]
You know, this may be the first time I ever been to Oregon and it didn't rain, now it's too damn hot!

Three, five, seven, eight, nine, ten

[Verse 1]
Some folks trust to reason
Others trust to might
I don't trust to nothing
But i know it come out right
Say it once again now
Oh, I hope you understand
When it's done and over
Lord, a man is just a man

[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

[Verse 2]
Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops
Just lookin' for their knives
But I can tell your future
But look what's in your hand
But I can't stop for nothing
I'm just playing in the band
[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

[Verse 3]
Standing on a tower
World at my command
You just keep a turning
While I'm playing in the band
If a man among you
Got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me
For playing in the band

[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
Playing, and wait up on the sand
Daybreak, while I'm playing in the band
[Instrumental]
