Singer in a Band Lyrics

by Joe Nichols

I'll be glad to sign my autograph
If you want me to
God knows I love singing
It's what I was born to do
You see me up there center stage
In the spotlight for awhile
But in the things that really matter
I'm just sitting on the isle

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e48042-joe_nichols~singer_in_a_band_lyrics.html ]
Cuz I've seen a third grade angel with
Dark circles 'neath her eyes
Not a trace of hair left on her head
Sayin daddy don't you cry
A single mom workin overtime
A college kid reading to the blind
When you look for heros know that I'm just a singer in a band

I'm thankful to be living in
This childhood dream come true
But sometimes the attention just leaves me confused
Hey, I love my t-shirt on those kids, my name there up in lights
But when the show is done and I'm on the bus riding through the night

I think of third grade angel with
Dark circles 'neath her eyes
Not a trace of hair left on her head
Sayin daddy don't you cry
A soldier in a field of mines
With each step he lays it on the line
When you look for heros know that I'm just a singer in a band

I'm humbled when you take the time
To hear my life in verse and rhyme
But when it comes to heros I know I'm just a singer in a band
A singer in a band

I'll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
