about

Words and music by E.P. Schwartz

lyrics

It's funny how you lose
delusions of fortune and fame
getting paid in cash and pizza
Lord, this really is a younger man's game

but I'm taking life as it comes
giving a dream a chance to fight
trying to find fifty folks
who'll come out on a school night

Crashing on stranger's couches
and 6 foot tall basement flats
you say I'm living the dream, I am
but I didn't dream about that

I check my email at a truck stop
as I buy a Diet Sprite
I'm working to get fifty folks
to come out on a school night

What's your draw they ask
I can't say I haven't got a clue
I'm still trying to find the people
who like what I do
But I don't like to lie
and it's not professional to beg
but I know if I could play my songs
I could turn a few heads

Now I've got this kid
with a guitar and a dream
and I'm trying to show by example
what this life will really be
but what the hell do I know
about doing any of this right
I'm still trying to get fifty folks
to come out on a school night

(Chorus)

It's funny how you lose your delusions
of fortune and fame
when you're sitting in a diner
in a town that barely deserves a name
drinking coffee and hoping
you did everything right
and you'll find your fifty folks
who'll come out on a school night
