M. W. Hale - 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
