Hot Tea (2022)

Track 6: Break a String

I took a look with a gaze in the crowd
Never seen something make me so proud
A picture perfect my artist friends
Like the night before yeah we're gathered again

Life gets messy and the world gets mean
There's something very special about the local scene
They're at your shows and you're at theirs
We paint it all together yeah everybody shares

Good luck, break a brush, snap a string
Yeah just do your thing

Been building it up and learning for a while
Relatable rhythms and similar styles
Early open mics where we bust our cheeks
Celebrating others yeah you unique

It's not competition it's collectiveness
Your sisters and your brothers
Just bringing out your best
Playing with you and you're  singing with me
Play it all together it's harmony

Good luck, break a brush, snap a string
Yeah just do your thing

List of many visions just a rolling through our heads
Takes one to know one a beautiful mess
Countless hours of creations we breath
Not just saying it yeah we're living the dream

No break no wait no cut you no slack
There's blues in the air and blood on the tracks
Music it's work it's calm it's crazy
Happening now it has saved me

Good luck, break a brush, snap a string
Yeah just do your thing

Drawing up posters and sending invites
Actively promoting all dang night
Set up and tear down
If we each get fifty we'll call it a win

A hundred sixty miles and smiles both ways
It's not for the money it's the love that pays
Music's the doctor let's put it in order
Support your local supporter

Good luck, break a brush, snap a string
Yeah just do your thing
