Shields & Colors
I got my shields on, I got my colors too,
And I'm counting the days 'til I get back to you.
We’ll take the road on, one show at a time,
Two bucks in the jar, leaving the world behind.
Rewind it back to the days when we were new.
‘Let’s Go!’ playing on the “Radio,” where “I...I fell in love with you.”
It had a soul, had a heart, beat imperfect from the start, but it felt like home.
So, I got a band, found a crew, lost the weight of losing you,
With some songs of our own.
Sunglasses and denim vests,
A lifer’s armor to save what’s left.
I got my shields on, I got my colors too,
Old sins in the rearview, good friends, and a tune.
To soothe the hard times, one song at a time,
Two thousand miles trying to leave the world behind.
We trace our fingers round the window to our souls.
Chase what lingers, with the sound and the fury of growing old.
But the nights we spent singing at the very top floor of, of our lungs.
On a stage, in the van, with my friends, with the fam, with a band, on the run.
Sunglasses and denim vests,
A lifer’s armor to save what’s left.
I got my shields on, I got my colors too,
And I'm counting the days 'til I get back to you.
We’ll take the road on, one show at a time,
Two bucks in the jar, leaving the world behind.
We all, we all, we all turn shades of grey,
We get lost, we get sold, wouldn’t have it any other way...
I got my shields on, I got my colors too,
And I'm counting the days 'til I get back to you.
We’ll take the road on, one show at a time,
Two bucks in the jar, leaving the world behind.
I got my shields on, I got my colors too,
Old sins in the rearview, good friends, and a tune.
And when the sad songs, get too hard to sing,
I got a family to sing on, got a patch, we got a thing.
I got my shields on, I got my colors too,
And I'm counting the days 'til I get back to you.
We’ll take the road on, one show at a time,
Two bucks in the jar, leaving the world behind.
Rewind it back to the days when we were new.
‘Let’s Go!’ playing on the “Radio,” where “I...I fell in love with you.”
It had a soul, had a heart, beat imperfect from the start, but it felt like home.
So, I got a band, found a crew, lost the weight of losing you,
With some songs of our own.
Sunglasses and denim vests,
A lifer’s armor to save what’s left.
I got my shields on, I got my colors too,
Old sins in the rearview, good friends, and a tune.
To soothe the hard times, one song at a time,
Two thousand miles trying to leave the world behind.
We trace our fingers round the window to our souls.
Chase what lingers, with the sound and the fury of growing old.
But the nights we spent singing at the very top floor of, of our lungs.
On a stage, in the van, with my friends, with the fam, with a band, on the run.
Sunglasses and denim vests,
