lyrics

I went down to the crossroads
and i saw a sign in the middle of the road
one said southwest and one said south and
I can go and see all my friends

oh boy its the carnival
we can all shout over all the bullshit
spend all our cash to drive real fast
down to texas and make lasting connections

I got a showcase at 4 in the morning
hotel lobby everyones snoring
fast asleep in all their dreams
while the unsigned folks who cant afford it

complain about music and its gentrification
taking over austin and the locals get displaced and
cant afford the festival but enjoy the tourists fixation

(slow)
cause its the only time anyone ever cares about texas
ignore all the more dillemas about laws they pass in texas
wont tour here any time all year except for when the company lets us
I reckon its time to go down south because the carnival bekons

oh I went down to the crossroads again
it didn't treat me so well last year
but I met one kind of nice agent
who said hed pass along my demo to his boss and

this year I actually got a spot to
sing my song in a legetimite venue
I think I am going to kill it
even if its only 15minutes

but at least its 15 minutes of fame
iv got nothing to lose and i have everything to gain
except for my time and all of my savings
and time I could be spending touring around playing

my music to ten people to a time
who will actually care about my life
but thats ok cause Im ingrained
with the bogus social contract that we have arranged

(chorus)
