Heroes Of Our Day

He started talking to me in a southern drawl He said a friend of a friend said I should give you a call They call me Big Tuna and I got this band And we need a guy Minutes turned to hours over a couple beers His infectious smile made me think I'd know him for years In the next couple weeks we stood on stage But what I didn't know right then We became the heroes of our day As fast as I joined you made me one your own Practiced turned into hanging out at our homes You were laughing at some joke while Jen tried to sing It was the best of times Driving all night coming back from the gigs Tuna showed dirty pictures, told stories about his kids Pauly screamed shut it down as the tires skid We were invincible baby We were the Heroes of our day Man, I guess you had your secrets Things I didn't know or see How could I have been so blind I watched as you moved the family I never told ya how much I missed ya Even when we'd visit time to time But like ever thing important The distance pushed you to the back of my mind Then I got the word that you moved on My body snapped, I ended up on the ground Staring at the corner where you sat and played It sits empty now I wish I could have saved you like you saved me The rest of us are empty, sometimes it's hard to breath And all I can think about after all this time is that We were beautiful baby And the Heroes of our day Brother, we all miss you I know your with us on this stage So for one last time, lets go on out and be The Heroes of our day
