Started by Marcuss Hall, David Curtis and Matt Jackson, they played shows in churches, basements, living rooms, coffee houses and eventually full concerts around southern Illinois. After signing to Tooth and Nail Records they exploded and toured with other bands similar to them.

After about a year or so Marcuss left side walk slam for personal reason. David replaced him on vocals and they recorded one more album with Neil Endicott stepping up in place of Davids old back ground. David Curtis also has participated in his own solo project which was slightly short lived.

Summer of 2006 showed a new side with a new name which is now Run Kid Run with all the same band members.

Say Goodbye
Side Walk Slam Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used me
Abused me
Sad to say we'll go our separate ways
Days will pass but time can't take away
All the pain caused today

Chorus:
Say Goodbye now

Turn and walk away
There's nothing left to say

Things I'd say
To make you stay
Won't come out
Of my mouth today

No more words will mend what's been broken
or what's been torn apart
