Old Stage Soldiers(Garth Brooks Tribute) Frank Jones

When Garth retired, I was happy for him but I grieved for myself. I wondered how he might have felt before his pre-retirement concert. Hence this song sung at the Bluebird.
(Lyric) OLD STAGE SOLDIERS--- Sorting through a pile of mixed emotion /Thinking about my final show/Dealing with the past and the future/ Wonderin' where my river's gonna flow/ I tried to write me a good-bye song/ But it's all been said in "The Dance"/ So I drank in a rush of sweet memories/ Read the note a fan put in my hand/ It said....
CHORUS: Old stage soldiers never die/ All they do is fade away/ They can turn in their microphones/ But they'll leave their hearts on the stage/ Never really retire, forever on fire/
Those old stage soldiers never die

If they'd caught me then on candid camera/ Woulda caught this fool in the dark/ Seen a grown man cryin' like a baby/ Singing from my broken heart/ I hope my fans know I love them/ They're all my music was about/ They gave me the faith to walk the tightrope/ Ushered me through my fires of doubt. /Fans are why..../ CHORUS
