People In The Back

(album: Leather - 2023)

No, you ain't looking for a shoutout or a spotlight
You're just happy to be here drinking cold beer
In your cheap seats, on a Friday night
Working a long week off

I sing plenty of songs about love gone right and love gone wrong
But this ain't that, this is for the people in the back, yeah

For the boy in the back pew headed back to
The front lines in the morning
The mom rocking dad's role, in her work clothes
She ain't in it for the glory
The angels in the wings tryna fly behind the scenes
I know where you're at
Yeah, tonight I'm singing loud for
All them people in the back

Yeah, you know who you are

From way on up in the nosebleeds to the front row
Betcha everybody in this place has got a unsung hero
That's for damn sure
And they all deserve to have a good time
So everybody raise one high

For the boy in the back pew headed back to
The front lines in the morning
The mom rocking dad's role, in her work clothes
She ain't in it for the glory
The angels in the wings tryna fly behind the scenes
I know where you're at
Yeah, tonight I'm singing loud for
All them people in the back

Yeah, uh

Yeah, I know this light's on me
But, man, I damn sure wouldn't be
Right where I'm at
Without them people in the back

Talikn' 'bout the boy in the back pew headed back to
The front lines in the morning
The mom rocking dad's role, in her work clothes
She ain't in it for the glory
The angels in the wings tryna fly behind the scenes
I know where you're at
Yeah, tonight I'm singing loud for
All them people in the back

All y'all people in the back
You bet
