From the recording Growing Up

Lyrics

CHORUS:
When I grow up I wanna be in a traveling band
Roam around the world with a guitar in my hands
Make the people wanna sing, make the people wanna clap their hands and dance
Yeah, when I grow up I wanna be in a traveling band

Levon’s got a drum set, look at him go
B.B. plays the guitar nice and slow
Elton plays the keys, makes the people wanna shout
And McCartney walks the bass all over town, all over town

Louis blows a trumpet, Dylan blows a harp
Petty and The Boss play from their heart
Jagger’s got the moves and Elvis is the king
And the sky opens up when Aretha sings
