Biography:
Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Benji Hughes spends much of his time masterminding his blend of inventive rock and ballads. At times earnest, at others whimsical, Benji is equally adept at keyboards and guitar. He loves beer but he loves women even more. Underneath his thick mane of strawberry blond hair and beard is a versatile singer/songwriter, full of heart. His music collection -- spanning everything from The Crystals, Merle Haggard, and Kinky Friedman to Talking Heads, The Cars, and Slayer -- is as wild as his gracious exterior.

[verse 1]
C Dm F G
I went with some friends to see The Flaming Lips
C Dm F G
It was the greatest show I ever saw
C Dm F G
We'd been planning the trip for a couple of months
Dm G
And I just couldn't wait to get it on
C Dm F G
It was April 17th, it was Thursday night
C Dm F G
It was raining just a little but we didn't mind
Dm G
We had some drinks in the bar at the Haywood park
Dm G
Sent walking Jason on a beer run, 'cause it was getting dark
C Dm F G
Then we checked into our rooms and started eating mushrooms
C Dm F G
Jessica and Elle dropped by
Dm G
We got directions to the club from the man at the door
Dm G
And we rode down through the streets, Charlotte people on tour
[instrumental refrain]
C Dm F G (x2)
[verse 2]
F Em Am G Dm G
Standing in line when we realized Mark had been taken too much, taken way too much MDMA...
Am Dm
And later that night while the band played
G C Em/B
I held the girl that I love in my arms
Dm
And most of my friends
G C
And we all took turns holding Mark
[coda]
Am Dm G C Em/B
Sometimes I almost forget how great that night really was
Dm G C F G C
Then I talk to Mark and he can't remember anything at all
