Peaked Lyrics by Union Sound Treaty

Next Year

[Spoken Intro]
I never saw myself playing music in front of people, let alone for a living. But I was studying abroad in Estonia, folks started listening to me practice. Then one night, I got called up to play a few songs at a concert I was at, and that seemed to go pretty well. Then that next week, I got a call from a fashion designer. She asked me to play for a show that Friday. So I said yes, and it went like this:

[Verse 1]
Well the first time I ever played for a dollar
Was a lingerie fashion show
There were people all around just bobbin' their heads
With a smile and a look of hope
As the girls walked straight and turned on the dime
To the rhythm of a country rhyme
I look back on all the times I ever played
And think "Where the hell did I go wrong?"

[Chorus]
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
And I can't beat singin' Springsteen to get paid
I got the words all wrong to every damn song
I was lookin' at the girls walkin' 'round in thongs
Well I peaked the first show I ever played

[Verse 2]
Well since then, I can't quite contend
Although I played a hundred shows or more
From Arkansas to Estonia
And the New York City dance floors
I've played for thousands of people in hundreds of places
Earned my share of pennies too
And I look back on all the times I ever played
And think "Where the hell did I go wrong?"

[Chorus]
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
And I can't beat singin' Springsteen to get paid
I got the words all wrong to every damn song
I was lookin' at the girls walkin' 'round in thongs
Well I peaked the first show I ever played

[Chorus]
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
And I can't beat singin' Springsteen to get paid
I got the words all wrong to every damn song
I was lookin' at the girls walkin' 'round in thongs
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
Well I peaked the first show I ever played
