That song, you know, you talk a little bit about some of the things you've been through,
and the reference to the cork rift brings up a great question, and that is what you guys were
all doing before you came [C] together in this [Bb] band.
I think it's pretty interesting, but first I want
to introduce the guys we haven't talked to yet.
Back [Bbm] there on the drums, we got [N] Joshua Namecrow.
Nigel Fry on the bass guitar back here.
[G] John Hughes Grossman.
[Ab] [B]
[Eb] We've already met [Abm] you two guys,
so [Bb] tell us how this [Bm] thing got started, and tell us [B] where all that cork rift venom came from
with that last song.
[Gb]
[Ab] So I was working as a banker [Eb] in Lowerview, Texas.
I [N]
got [E] off on a better job
at the bank, and the decision, so I quit [Ab] and moved to [Dm] Austin to play guitar.
That was 12
years [D] ago, 12 and a half years ago.
[N]
[Eb]
We'd much rather [Bb] you be playing us music than proving clones.
What about the rest of you guys?
What were you doing before you looked up with this [F] band?
[Bb] I was kind of doing the same thing.
I worked at Compaq here.
[Gb] [A] I left there [G] right before I turned 21 to [Gb] move to Austin to play music as well.
[N]
I was a prom-appointment attorney.
[Gb]
[Eb]
I [Bb]
was living in my parents' basement in [D] Kentucky.
[C] [Eb]
[C] [Bb]
[N]
That's great.
[Eb]
All right, yeah, signal.
[Bb] My loan has been approved.
[N] That's great.
Okay, so all right, let me ask you about a song that paints some very
vivid pictures, Kevin, that you wrote [Eb] that you've described as one of your most personal songs,
and it has to do with where you come from and things that [N] you went through early on in life.
Tell us about the song, [Eb] The Wolves Away.
I wanted a short [N]
version.
I was born in Freeport, Texas,
on the coast side of Houston.
I [Ab] was in [Gb]
Dow Chemical USA.
I was in my backyard for eight months
[Ab] until the [A] man had a skylight.
My father worked in a chemical [Eb] plant down there.
[Db] He was hurt in a bad [N] chemical accident when I was a teenager.
I just turned 13.
He went through
health, [Bb] but one thing that [G] I was 15 [Ab] and a half when I moved to northeast Texas [N] to get out of the
refinery.
This is a literal story.

streets.
Mexico, the [B] skyline's colored by chemical [A] plants, the bread on the table of the working man.
[Dbm] Well, the working man does his best to provide [E] safety shelter for kids and a wife.
[B] Give a little of his soul every day, [A] making all the time to keep the wolves away.
