lyrics

You can play your songs out if your town still has a place to play
Get you some attention after you've worked all day
Build up your crowd of folks who give a damn about what you have to say
But then a new guy comes along with songs and he just might take that all away

A real kid wizard encroaching on your scene
All the girls read him like the cover of Creem
Local legends quiver as the audience screams
The kid wizard's fame might just shatter your dream

Art for art's sake but it's cool to hear "man you guys rocked"
But attendance ain't the same with kid wizard playing down the block
You're not asking for a sellout but ever since his new song dropped
You're playing for the staff it seems like everyone has joined his flock

A real kid wizard encroaching on your scene
All the girls read him like the cover of Creem
Local legends quiver as the audience screams
The kid wizard's fame might just shatter your dream

A real kid wizard encroaching on your scene
All the girls read him like the cover of Creem
Local legends quiver as the audience screams
The kid wizard's fame might just shatter your dream

I recorded this album for Don, and he contributed a vocal for a track on my upcoming LP. One of Athens' best-kept secrets. Sloan Brothers

Enter The Mirror

This one got lots of listens while I was writing songs for my album. I could recommend any one of their albums but why not their latest? Sloan Brothers
