Alex Shelnutt - Monument lyrics

[Verse 1] It's Monday morning And I would k** for a chance to drive Get so far away from here with you my dear That I'll never leave your side Nobody knows the troubles I've seen In a van, on a soapbox for the world to see [Chorus] Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me To be a monument for the rest of them Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me To be a monument for the rest of them [Verse 2] We're getting older I've started to fear for my life Is this the way that it should be? This whole thing's riding on me It's been a long road so far With nowhere to turn There's no looking back from here No more dwelling on my fears [Chorus] Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me To be a monument for the rest of them Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me To be a monument for the rest of them [Refrain] Twenty bucks says you'll remember me When you see me on your TV screen It may be the first time But it won't be the last time Twenty bucks says you'll remember me When you see me on your TV screen It may be the first time But it won't be the last timeTwenty bucks says you'll remember me When you see me on your TV screen It may be the first time But it won't be the last time [Verse 3] And I'll scream So loud that everyone in this place Will hear every word I say Cause this is my time, this is my time to shine Let nothing stand in our way And I'll scream So loud that everyone in this place Will hear every word I say Cause this is my time, this is my time to shine Let nothing stand in our way [Refrain] Twenty bucks says you'll remember me When you see me on your TV screen It may be the first time But it won't be the last time Twenty bucks says you'll remember me When you see me on your TV screen It may be the first time But it won't be the last timeTwenty bucks says you'll remember me When you see me on your TV screen It may be the first time But it won't be the last time
