Ed Sheeran and friends were extremely talented musicians, so much so that when the concert ended, I felt really untalented, but at least I wasn’t hungry - until the ride home. Dont stay awake for too long Dont go to bed Ill make a cup of coffee for your head Itll get you up and going out of bed. There were striking visuals, exploding fire and best of all, I finally got my hot dog. I was excited to discover that his performance included lots of fast, “rocking” music, and he delivered a terrific stage show. Khalid’s coolness made me feel really uncool - and still hungry.įinally, it was time for Sheeran. I couldn’t really make out most of the lyrics, other than one song called “Young, Dumb & Broke.” Now, that’s a song I can relate to - parts of it, anyway. Next up was Khalid, whom I can only describe as “totally cool.” His voice was cool, his walk was cool and his songs were cool. When she was finished, I felt old - and hungry. Danielle saw I often tried to be comical when I was around base and now she was showing me more of her comical. I thoroughly enjoyed her music, but she made me exhausted just watching her. She was young, incredibly energetic, and almost certainly had never eaten at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House. The first performer was a new rock artist named Dylan.

Up there, we were among other adults who had the good sense to stay seated. Probably because our tickets were free, they were high enough in the stadium to be right next to the Lord’s throne room, which was fine with me. Try to stay awake but you can't forget Wake you up in the middle of the night to say, I will never walk away again I'm never gonna leave this bed Oh, you say go It isn't worth it and I say no It isn't perfect so I stay and still I'm never gonna leave this bed uh Take it, take it all take all that I have Take it, take it all take all that I have.

We arrived early, which gave me a chance to scout out the food vending (including a jumbo hotdog I had my eye on) since the long walk to our seats was making me hungry again. Once we had traumatized our waistbands at Babe’s, we were off to the concert.
#Tried to stay awake lyrics full#
The atmosphere in Babe’s was cozy and dark, probably so we couldn’t see each other making total pigs of ourselves as the massive Lazy Susan on the table doubled as a rotating trough full of fluffy biscuits, greasy fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a few other vegetables that I don’t remember much. More napping!Ī few hours before the gates opened, we decided to have a late lunch in downtown Arlington at Babe’s Chicken Dinner House, where the food is served family-style, most of it is fried, and everything is “all-you-can-eat.” (Did I mention the chance for napping?) My wife and I both worried that we might have trouble staying awake if all of his songs were slow and being performed after 8 p.m. I didn’t know much about Sheeran prior to the concert, other than he sang a couple of popular romantic ballads and he had ginger hair that looked like he styled it with a package of firecrackers.
