about

I literally wrote this after another gig in Weaverville, NC where I occasionally played a bakery there in town for tips and day-old pastries.

In Appalachia from 2003-2006 I worked up from the Wed night gigs (Richie Ireson actually gave me $20 out of his till that first night at his bar since only a few stragglers had wandered in over a four hour period and he said he wanted to encourage me to come back.) to doing Saturday nights with the Yes Men for $400.

I was working a full time job on top of playing 3-4 nights a week and rehearsing 2, so life was busy.

lyrics

Lyrics:
hunger to be fed
I sing my song for money, I sing my song for bread
I go to bed each night with one running through my head
I wake up each morning with a hunger to be fed

it’s a strange thing to want to play in clubs and bars when you’ve been over drinking from the bottle for some time now : chorus : a strange thing to wanna be on the road when you’re over taking invitations from the strangers that you meet on the way : chorus : I don’t know which is more important, writing songs or singing them : I need me some more of them days that slide on by
yeah I need me some more of them days that just slide on by
