Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To a world we'll not remember when we're old and tired
We'll be blowing on the embers of a little fire
We were the tallest person watching in Chesapeake
You put me on your shoulders so I could see
[Chorus]
I was all covered in sound
Ear plugs so it wasn't loud
Swallowed up by the crowd
I didn't know what they were singing about
I can't hardly wait
For someone to replace
[Verse 2]
It was hot in the arena, good men die like dogs
My hero plays to no one, in a parking lot, even though there's no one around
Even though there's no one around, he broke a leg and the house came down
A smattering of applause, a sliver moon and a cover song
[Bridge]
Oh, sweet child of mine
You're always sorry for everything, never apologize
Oh, sweet child of mine
Now you stand on the corner and hope you get recognized
[Chorus]
I was all covered in sound
When you asked me to turn it down
Didn't even think it was loud
Can you hear it now?
