one gig away

I’m one gig away

From the big stage

I’ve put my heart into the crowd

Even if they never show

I play a damn good show

I play ‘em fast

I play ‘em loud

I did a record after my EP

Don’t care if it don’t sell

It meant a lot to me

A couple hundred steams

You might think that’s funny

But I don’t care

I don’t do it for the money

Go sell your bonds

Or insurance they don’t need

I’ll be here humming tunes

To my son while he sleeps

They’re melodies

That come to me in dreams

And I wake up at 2am

To write ‘em down before they leave me

I’m one gig away

From the big stage, stage

I’m one gig away

From the big stage

I’ve put my heart into the crowd

Even if they never show

I play the songs they know

I play ‘em fast

I play ‘em loud

They say

We’re in a gig economy

I guess that’s true

I’ve gigged in Nashville

Austin and in Baton Rouge

So I’ll leave my draft here

Right under my draught beer

I’ll see you one day

When I’m up on that big stage, big stage

Go sell your bonds

Or insurance they don’t need

I’ll be here humming tunes

To my son while he sleeps

They’re melodies

That come to me in dreams

And I wake up at 2am

To write ‘em down before they leave me

I’m one gig away

From that big stage

Just one gig away
