This is probably the best song I've heard so far this year. It's got a great Neil Young vibe to it. Beautiful lyrics once again by Patterson Hood.

The graffiti on the back stage wall gets painted over in muted shade
The club becomes an Old Navy
After the scene dies

When the last six-string slinger has to bow down for health insurance
and accept the mundane
After the scene dies

When the last one leaves and the last note fades and the last dream's been put away
Shut the light off / Shut the light off

When the front man turns to Jesus and the drummer moves away
I'll still be doing what pleases me
After the scene dies

When the bartender passes and the owner cashes out
And they box up the glasses and take the sound system down
Guitars back in their cases
Don't forget my fries
After the scene dies

Lyrics: Patterson Hood / Music: Cooley, Hood, Morgan, Neff, Tucker and Gonzalez

    This is probably my favorite track on the new disc, followed closely by Drag the Lake Charlie.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Awesome song...my favorite new one along with Birthday Boy
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Love the first lines of Get Downtown...the whole song too....but
    "Kim said Jimmy you better get yourself up off of that raggedy couch
    I'm too pretty to work and I'm tired of you uglyin' up my house
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
