The story behind the song:
Let me start out by saying, I am one grateful human being for the many things I DO have & would never compare my misfortunes to those of others (especially those in this world that have REAL problems like starvation & homelessness ec.)  That being said, I had a particularly difficult time this past summer & that's where the feeling behind this song comes from.  In a few weeks time, I almost lost my car cause I couldn't keep up with the payments, on several occasions couldn't afford to buy groceries, was cheated out of a thousand dollars by a so-called music promoter, then did a concert in a 500 seat venue in my hometown....about 20 people showed up.  Ahhh, the life of a musician. :)  Again, my focus is ALWAYS on the positive & what I have to be grateful for.  And as long as I'm still breathing, I'm grateful.  But these incidents caused me to feel sad about all the years of chasing a musical dream that hasn't come close to happening yet.  I knew I had to get out of that pathetic mindset! ha.  This song came as a result.  I hope it encourages someone out there who's having a rough time.  Thanks for watching!
-Chris

LYRICS
End of the week
I just got paid
Should buy some food
But my  rent is running two months late  
Could sell my drums
Piano too
But then I'd have nothing to make these songs for you  
The rich get richer
The poor stay poor
The little things in life
Are big things that I can't afford
Sometimes I feel
Like giving up
But I say these words out loud
Every day when I wake up 

(chorus)
Someday there'll be
LINES AROUND THE BLOCK
LINES AROUND THE BLOCK
Someday I'll see
LINES AROUND THE BLOCK 
LINES AROUND THE BLOCK
And all of the doubters that doubted me
Will be waiting in line
Just to see what they can see yeah
Someday there'll be
LINES AROUND THE BLOCK
LINES AROUND THE BLOCK 

Door after door
Slammed in my face
Nobody out there wants to know
Another unknown name
I try to sell my talent to the world
But record people these days
Only sign 13 year old girls 
But I don't care
If they can't see
I'm more than just a minnow
In a sea of wannabes
I got my sights
Set on number one
And I say these words out loud
Every day when I wake up
