LYRICS:
It’s the changin’ of the seasons 
It’s gotta be the reason 
I’m feeling sore

People give me the best advice 
Put your foot in the door, kid and don’t ya think twice 
How could you ask for more?

Spend my nights wonderin’ 
How it’s gonna be

Well I know you’re thinkin’ of me but I’ve got big plans 
Tour around the country in a beat up van 
Hit the ground runnin’, make a lot of money 
Yeah, I wanna be the singer in a country band 

Remember how it used to feel 
When them nights were long and love was real 
And we thought we could rule the world

Near the point of no return 
No lookin’ back, no time to burn 
Boys we gotta hit the road

Spend my days dreamin’ about 
The stars we’re gonna be 

Well, I know you’re thinkin’ of me but I’ve got big plans 
Tour around the country in a beat up van 
Hit the ground runnin’, make a lot of money 
Yeah, I wanna be the singer in a country band

I met a man, most of his life was through 
I seen the pain and regret in his eyes 
He told me son, you gotta do what you gotta do 
Every man must answer his own call

Well, I know you’re thinkin’ of me but I’ve got big plans 
Tour around the country in a beat up van 
Hit the ground runnin’, make a lot of money 
Yeah, I wanna be the singer in this country band

(Well, I know you’re thinkin’ of me but I’ve got big plans 
Tour around the country in a beat up van 
Hit the ground runnin’, make a lot of money 
Yeah, I wanna be the singer in a country band)

Here I am 

Well, I wanna be the singer in a country band

Singer In A Country Band

Singer in a Country Band

Track 5 from "South City Revival"

LYRICS:
Remember when I first saw you girl?
You opened my eyes to the world
Heard all the stories--they didn’t mean much to me

And then you took my hand
Boy i felt like a man
Couldn’t wait for what was to be
Couldn’t wait for you to love me

Colleen, Colleen
You’re the worst thing that’s ever happened to me
Colleen, Colleen
You’re the worst thing that’s ever happened to me

And the years have gone by
Like spring wind through your hair
In the back of my dad’s pickup truck

Darlin, you know me
I’ll wait patiently
By the phone to pick you up from his house

Colleen, Colleen
You’re the worst thing that’s ever happened to me
Colleen, Colleen
You’re the worst thing that’s ever happened to me

Been waiting for so long
Watched the boys all do you wrong
You ain’t getting no prettier
But I like that, yeah baby I like that

Colleen, Colleen
Colleen, damn Colleen, Colleen
You’re the worst thing baby

Track 4 from "South City Revival"

LYRICS:
How could I forget? holding on to you
Standing in the rain, I was soaked down to my shoes
That was all alright, no place I’d rather been
Holding on to you, getting soaking wet

Been awhile since I’ve seen you
I bet, darling, that you’re still so beautiful
I heard, you’re doing fine
I still think about you, still think about you Caroline

Just the other night, right as I fell asleep
You were standing there, looking pretty in my dreams
We were riding in my car, setting all alone
On them long and fiery nights, you and me we weren’t never going home

Been awhile since I’ve seen you
I bet, darling, that you’re still so beautiful
I heard, you’re doing fine
I still think about you, still think about you Caroline

If I get the nerve, just might give you a call
I bet we’d sit and talk all night, like no time had passed at all
Do you still love to dance? I still love to sing
Caroline you’re so damn beautiful, there’s just one more thing 

Been awhile since I’ve seen you
And I know, for sho, you’re a one in a million girl
I was wondering, I can’t quit wondering would you be mine
I can’t stop thinking bout you, thinking bout you Caroline
Oh I’m gonna love you baby, gonna love you Caroline

Track 3 from "South City Revival"

LYRICS:
There she was, standing there
With them pretty pink lips and that neon light in her hair
What’s your name, where you from?
Girl looking like you it’s a sin you’re sitting here all alone

What a chance, lucky me
Mind if I sit down? If I can, I wanna buy you a drink
We could dance, if ya want, we could sit and talk
If you were mine girl, we could do anything that you want

That’s alright…

Oh my goodness, me oh my
Well you walking around here like a lit stick of dynamite
You’re the cat’s pajamas and the dog’s bow wow
You don’t already you oughta know now
I could go on like this all night 
If you want, if you like, it’d be fine, it’d be nice
It’d be alright

It’s alright…

She said you good looking boy but you’re wasting your breath and my time
You gonna shut your mouth and take me home tonight?

It’s alright…
You wanna get out of here, take it back to my house tonight?
It’s alright
That’s alright

It's Alright

Track 2 from "South City Revival"

LYRICS:
Savannah, you broke my heart again
Left it bleeding on the bedroom floor
I wish I knew what kept me coming back
When you say those words, I’m always out the door.

When we were young we drove my car around
Girl, you looked so pretty in the setting sun
We weren’t in love, we both had others up at home
But goddamn we had fun

I’m running out of time
Burned my bridges down
I got nobody else
Stay with me, we’ll take it slow. Slow..

Savannah, I know I drive you crazy
Drink too much and try to dance
You say you can’t trust me anymore
Every man deserves a second chance

I’m running out of time
Burned my bridges down
I got nobody else
Stay with me, we’ll take it slow
 
You say that you’ll do better
You’re waiting on a love to come you say will save your life
Savannah, I’ll wait for you to realize
We’re meant to be together--for good

Savannah, you know my love is true
Got your name tattooed there on my arm
Life’s better, when someone’s on your side
It’s the perfect place to start
Well..

We’re running out of time
But we got nowhere to go
And we got nobody else
So stay with me, we’ll take it slow
Baby won’t you stay with me
We can take it slow. Slow..

Savannah.

Track 1 from "South City Revival"

LYRICS:
Lazarus of Beverly
He was the finest friend to me. 
We ran around, we ran this town
Lazarus of Beverly

Lazarus of Beverly
He told us all the things he'd seen
The falling light, the endless seas
Lazarus of Beverly

He said he'd seen the light
He felt the hand of God
He said he felt just fine
At least until we woke him up

Lazarus of Beverly
Ain't nothing wrong with living free
Every Saint’s a broken man
Lazarus of Beverly

He said he'd seen the light
He felt the hand of God
He said he felt just fine
At least until we woke him up

No, no, no...

Lazarus of Beverly
We loved him so we let him be
He’ll come again a different man
Lazarus of Beverly
He’ll come again a different man
Lazarus of Beverly

Well tell me do you see me now
Cause I’ve seen the light

Lazarus of Beverly

South City Revival is a workingman’s band from Chicago, IL. Forged in the city of frigid winters and ferocious wind, the band continues to expand on their vision of Midwest Americana with, "Where There's Smoke, There's Fire". The new album, the band's first full-length effort, is at its core an exploration of country and roots-rock music. Drawing on the energy and story-telling from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Brooks & Dunn, Tom Petty, and Steve Earle, listeners are immersed in a landscape filled with abandoned steel mills, sticky bar floors and rusted out Chevys.

Produced and recorded by fellow Chicagoan Mike Hagler (Wilco, Waco Brothers, OK Go) at Kingsize Soundlabs, "Smoke [‘WTS, TF’] is largely introspective”, says co-writer and guitarist John Quinn. "A lot of my writing is experiential. You write what you know, ya know?" Singer and fellow writer Joe Pacelli agrees, "Yeah, I tend to tap into past experiences” and jokes “Some of my songs might go a little further back down memory lane than Quinner's though. We're just excited to hit the road in support of the new record.”

SCR got their start playing in the bars on Chicago's south side. Six years, an EP, and a full length album later and you can find the band regularly supporting country music giants such as Lee Brice, Riley Green, Parker McCollum, and A Thousand Horses at Joe's on Weed Street (4 Time Winner of the Academy of Country Music Award for Nightclub of The Year) and sister venue Joe's Live Rosemont. While they continue to gain attention for their original compositions, anyone who's seen a South City Revival show will tell you the live performance is their bread and butter, as was reflected in their 2021 Chicago Music Award for Country/Western Performer of the Year.

In 2016, fate brought the guys together on a snowy Chicago night in a Western Avenue bar. The meeting was electric and it did't take long for Joe Pacelli (lead vocals), John Quinn (guitar), Brendan Linnane (pedal steel/guitar), Pino Perez (drummer), and Mike Fitzgerald (bass) to realize they'd be playing together for years to come.
