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
* I was all covered in sound Ear plugs so it wasn't loud
Swallowed up by the crowd Didn't know what they were singing about
I can't hardly wait For someone to replace
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 He broke a leg and the house came down
A smattering of applause A sliver moon and a cover song
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
