The Sound

Well, it happened all over It happened once again Call came hollerin' And I went out with my friends Told 'em all I'd take it light And not do as I tend But they'd seen all the lies in me Started real simple Started off with ease Just a couple bourbon shots Then wound up on my knees Praying to the porcelain god And asking him to please Take me from this hell I've found Oh there ain't no grace in that mornin' shine I close the curtains and I try to hide Take me to a type of Paradise One where Illegal Smiles roam Well I thought I knew it all Thought I had a plan Get out of that city life And go start up a band Between the strife and overtime I'm doing all I can To try to keep my sanity Well I listen to the songs They always wanna play All along the radio But ain't got shit to say I guess the Devil really showed And offered up a trade Your souls the only cost for fame Now I play them all From George to Prine A Little Light, and I Walk the Line Takes a lil' while, but it's worth the find If you're out there lookin' for The Sound I never really figured Never really tried Try to make the most of it Before the day I die Doing something bigger Might just fill my mom with pride Or kinda make a fool out of me So here it all goes Here it all begins Y'all seen the trailer, so I'll start the film Hope you all enjoy it And will watch it to the end And tell me how it all plays out Now I'm petrified, up here up high Looking out at all those flying eyes The only thing I ever wanted in life Callin' my Hungry Heart home
