Jerry Chapman - Shake Away the Dust

from Round 7, Week 2 by Monday Morning 3AM Music Club

/

about

The assignment, from Doug:
"Congratulations - you caught a big break! You just booked the opening slot for your favorite band at the local enormo-dome. Unfortunately, you realized that you don't have that perfect song to open your set. You're fully aware that the right song for this gig could earn you thousands of new fans, but a so-so song will just send everyone to the concession stand for more beer. So let's hear what you've got! Any style, and you can interpret this however you'd like."

Apparently I'm opening for the Gin Blossoms or Toad the Wet Sprocket. Or Life In General.

lyrics

Did you even see
Did you even see what hit you
You can let it be
You can let it be if they let you

It shouldn't be so hard to find
All you gotta do is change your mind

Shake away the dust
Peel off the cobwebs
There's still a little life left inside
And cry if you must
But don't let it stop you
It's time to dig a grave for your foolish pride
-- Before it all fades away
-- Before it turns to rust
Shake away the dust

You keep holding on
You keep holding on for dear life
Watching 'til it's gone
Watch 'til it's gone like a landslide

It shouldn't be so hard to find
All you gotta do is change your mind

Shake away the dust
Peel off the cobwebs
There's still a little life left inside
And cry if you must
But don't let it stop you
It's time to dig a grave for your foolish pride
-- Before it all fades away
-- Before it turns to rust
Shake away the dust

You're not really lost
You're not even lost, we can find you
Did you count the cost
Does it take a lot to remind you

It shouldn't be so hard to find
All you gotta do is change your mind

Shake away the dust
Peel off the cobwebs
There's still a little life left inside
And cry if you must
But don't let it stop you
It's time to dig a grave for your foolish pride

Shake away the dust
Peel off the cobwebs
There's still a little life left inside
And cry if you must
But don't let it stop you
It's time to dig a grave for your foolish pride
-- Before it all fades away
-- Before it turns to rust
Shake away the dust
