Just Business (with Kyle Smith)
I saw my first show when I was six years old
I knew that one day I would start a band and hit the road
Behind the music I was just a nerdy kid
Just writing songs and making flyers in the basement
Put in the work, man, we practiced everyday
We knew we had it, we were special, we were fucking great
We started playing shows, we hit the studio
We made a record, bought a van and then we hit the road
I might not make it home tonight
To see that morning light
No sleep, no money got me uptight
And I'm gonna win this fight
It's always darkest before dawn
So before I'm dead and gone
They're all gonna know
They're all gonna sing our songs
We got a record deal, we needed management
We had an agent, suddenly we were a business
We signed some contracts, we didn't have a clue
What we were doing, thought we did what we were supposed to do
Playing the rock shows, shaking hands, making friends
Busting our asses, we were someone else's asset
This is my life, man, not your retirement plan
You wouldn't die for this band
I should've known you didn't care
I might not make it home tonight
To see that morning light
No sleep, no money got me uptight
And I'm gonna win this fight
It's always darkest before dawn
So before I'm dead and gone
They're all gonna know
They're all gonna sing our songs
I might not make it home tonight
To see that morning light
No sleep, no money got me uptight
And I'm gonna win this fight
It's always darkest before dawn
So before I'm dead and gone
They're all gonna know
They're all gonna sing our songs
I knew that one day I would start a band and hit the road
Behind the music I was just a nerdy kid
Just writing songs and making flyers in the basement
Put in the work, man, we practiced everyday
We knew we had it, we were special, we were fucking great
We started playing shows, we hit the studio
We made a record, bought a van and then we hit the road
I might not make it home tonight
To see that morning light
No sleep, no money got me uptight
And I'm gonna win this fight
It's always darkest before dawn
So before I'm dead and gone
They're all gonna know
They're all gonna sing our songs
We got a record deal, we needed management

So before I'm dead and gone
They're all gonna know
They're all gonna sing our songs
