Matthews Comes Alive

This is a song about me, Dave Matthews and the band I formed
It was what? ten years ago
That was when it all started at the earth-day festival
That was our first show, God I was so nervous!
We had four songs total, maybe five
When we got on stage it was magic
I mean halfway through our first song
Everybody came alive
Dave Matthews Band comes alive
At the Earth-day Festival
At a concert in Brazil
Dave Matthews Band comes alive
At a Mardi Gras groovery
Are as Chilly’s as Bar and Grill
They come alive, they come alive
Yeah I was nervous, but you know
gradually you learn to overcome your fears
I guess I’ve always been kind of shy
I was what I like to call a dormroom guitarist for about seven years
