Liner Notes

Linger Notes:
Artist/Lyricist: Carl Crosby
It is a humorous ballad about aging "Knights" who are still called upon to save the day, despite their worn-out "warranty." This mid-tempo song in G Major uses acoustic guitar to highlight the playful yet reflective nature of the lyrics, exploring themes of camaraderie, weariness, and the sometimes frustrating demands placed on these unlikely heroes.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
We used to be heroes, strong and true,
Fixing things was what we loved to do,
But now we’re older, and our bones do creak,
Yet the calls keep coming every week.
Chorus:
Here come the Knights, creaking through the day,
Our warranty's worn out, but we’re on our way,
Damsels in distress, they always call,
But our wives back home, they’re not pleased at all.
Verse 2:
Leaky roofs, and pumps that just won’t run,
Flat tires, lost wallets—oh, the list is fun,
But when we return, our wives are there,
With that look in their eyes, the one that says, "Beware."
Chorus:
Here come the Knights, creaking through the day,
Our warranty's worn out, but we’re on our way,
Damsels in distress, they always call,
But our wives back home, they’re not pleased at all.
Bridge:
We’ve patched up roofs, and cut the grass,
But we’re not as quick, not moving so fast,
Our bodies ache, our backs are sore,
And when we get home, there’s always more.
Verse 3:
We may be old, but we’re still the best,
Though our wives might say, “Give it a rest,”
But when duty calls, we can’t say no,
Even if it means we’ll be walking slow.
Chorus:
Here come the Knights, creaking through the day,
Our warranty's worn out, but we’re on our way,
Damsels in distress, they always call,
But our wives back home, they’re not pleased at all.
Outro:
So here’s to the ladies, and the tasks we face,
We’ll keep on fixing, though we’re losing pace,
But when we get home, and the day is done,
We’ll face the music, ‘cause we’re the only ones.
