Heroes Of Our Day Lyrics

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
