Around Here from Old Girl by Lisa Mann

AROUND HERE
Written by Lisa Mann

You see that woman’s picture, up there hanging on the wall?
She didn’t have much to say, but we came to know here anyway
Through her piano, and damn but she could play

And you see those ladies near her, with the microphones in their hands?
A hush fell on this town as if the lights had all gone down
On the days they left us to go and help the angels sing

Around Here we revere the ones that came before
You may not know them but they’re our legends forever more
And though they may not be pictured in a Billboard magazine
We will remember them, always, Around Here

We know he had his demons, but his talent was heaven sent
People came from near and far, to hear him playing at this very bar
Oh, he was taken much too soon, he still had so much to do

Around Here we revere the ones that came before
You may not know them but they’re our legends forever more
And thought they may not be pictured in a Rolling Stone magazine
We will remember them, always, Around Here

Their songs are still resonating, although their music is now divine
They had so much to give, as long as we shall live
We’ll never turn around that open sign

Around Here we revere the ones that came before
You may not know them but they’re our legends forever more
And thought they may not be pictured in a Rolling Stone magazine
We will remember them, always, Around Here

We will remember them! We will remember them! We will remember them!
We will remember them, always, Around Here
