Lyrics

I showed up twenty minutes early
To the first show of my life
Sat in the van with my sticks in my lap
Drumming on my knees all night

My hands won't stop shaking
My heart won't stop racing
Somebody tell me it's fine

Nervous, nervous, let's go
Nervous, nervous, let's go
I can't feel my fingers but I'm ready
Count it in, count it in, let's go
Nervous, nervous, let's go

My bass player ate three sandwiches
And then he said he felt sick
The singer forgot his one good shirt
So he's wearing his little sister's

My hands won't stop shaking
My heart won't stop racing
Somebody tell me it's fine

Nervous, nervous, let's go
Nervous, nervous, let's go
I can't feel my fingers but I'm ready
Count it in, count it in, let's go
Nervous, nervous, let's go

Four people in the front row
And one of them is my mom
She's got her earplugs in already
She's waving, she's so proud

Nervous, nervous, let's go
Nervous, nervous, let's go
I can't feel my fingers but I'm ready
Count it in, count it in, let's go
Nervous, nervous, let's go

One, two, three, four
Let's go
