To a Band That I Loved

Though everyone tried to ignore us
 We'd scared them all off by the There you stood looking proud
 What was left of the crowd at our show
 And I was 22 backwoods years old
 You were singing that night by yourself
 And I thought I was the only one left
 From an old southern town
 New ideas bouncing round in my head
 And I thought everyone like me was dead
 ♪
 And somehow you put down my fears on a page
 When I still had nothing to say
 And how I miss you today
 May you find what you gave, all that hope
 Somewhere down at the end of your rope
 Now I know you'll be fine on your own
 And your families all need you at home
 And the dream was just smoke
 At least you all got the joke off the bat
 And you were alright with that
 ♪
 And somehow I'm still out here burning my days
 Your voice makes the miles melt away
 I'll be guarding your place
 In the lights on the stage of my heart
 I guess we're all still finding our part
 ♪
 And somehow I'm still out here seeing your faces
 In likely and unlikely places
 Somewhere playing too loud
 Or in what's left of the crowd at our show
 Hanging out when it's past time to go
