Carrie Akre - Hail, Hail

As I lay my hands
On the dresser drawer
I look into the mirror
And I pray some more

I pulled out the slate of my promises
To see how far I'd come from before
And I made a wish, I made a move
I count on everything something true

I said hail, hail here we are
We are drinking our drinks with the cynics
And the superstars

We are acting the family
I'm sure you'll let me know when
I go astray

But since when have these people I don't even know
Cared about me anyway
Yes, anyway


As I hang in the bar
How the stories, well they come to me
How I'm too big for my britches
A dead give away

I wonder why being a nice guy
Isn't good enough for people these days
See, I've worked hard for what I wanted
Now I refuse to be ashamed

I said hail, hail here we are
We are drinking our drinks with the cynics
And the superstars

We are acting the family
I'm sure you'll let me know when
I go astray

But since when have these people I don't even know
Cared about me anyway

I say gold of mine, gold of mine
A wish can come through
If I blow out the candle
Will my wish come true

And gold of mine, gold of mine
A wish has come through
Now I've blown out the candle
My wish has come true

It's come through
Yes, despite me anyways
It's come through
Hey, yeah

Yes I said hail, hail here we are
We are drinking our drinks with the cynics
And the superstars

We are acting the family
I'm sure you'll let me know when
I go astray

But since when have these people I don't even know
Cared about me anyway
Yes, anyway

Yes, anyway
