0:10Someone asked me once in an interview
0:14"What was growing up like, where'd you go to school?"
0:17"And what would you do if you weren't doin' this?"
0:26I'd be drivin' my first car, an old worn-out Dodge
0:31Tryin' to make rent with a dead end job, just makin' due
0:38With tips in a jar, my guitar and an old barstool
0:47I'd have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
0:52Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
0:56Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
1:04I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage
1:09Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
1:13At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
1:18I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
1:29I'd still be the same guy they knew back in the day
1:34Who was burnin' CDs just to give away
1:37Payin' his dues if I wasn't doin' this
1:46Five deep in a van, head full of steam
1:51Hot on the heels of my neon dreams maybe comin' true
1:58Livin' this life just like I was born to do
2:07I'd have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
2:11Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
2:15Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
2:23I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage
2:28Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
2:32At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
2:37I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
2:49It ain't about the fame
2:51It ain't about the fortune
2:53It ain't about the name
2:55It ain't about the glory
2:57I guess I'm sayin' it's always been about
3:05Having a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
3:10Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
3:14Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
3:22I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage
3:26Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
3:30At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
3:36I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
3:47Someone asked me once in an interview
3:51"What was growing up like, where'd you go to school?"
3:55"And what would you do if you weren't doin' this?"
