Lyrics:

Someone asked me once in an interview**lf**''What was growing up like, where''d you go to school?**lf**And what would you do if you weren''t doin'' this?''**lf****lf**I''d be drivin'' my first car, an old worn-out Dodge**lf**Tryin'' to make rent with a dead end job, just makin'' due**lf**With tips in a jar, my guitar and an old barstool**lf****lf**I''d have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand**lf**Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band**lf**Singin'' them same damn songs like I am now**lf**I''d be feelin'' on fire on a hardwood stage**lf**Bright lights like lightning runnin'' through my veins**lf**At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town**lf**I''d still be doin'' this if I wasn''t doin'' this**lf****lf**I''d still be the same guy they knew back in the day**lf**Who was burnin'' CDs just to give away**lf**Payin'' his dues if I wasn''t doin'' this**lf****lf**Five deep in a van, head full of steam**lf**Hot on the heels of my neon dreams maybe comin'' true**lf**Livin'' this life just like I was born to do**lf****lf**I''d have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand**lf**Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band**lf**Singin'' them same damn songs like I am now**lf**I''d be feelin'' on fire on a hardwood stage**lf**Bright lights like lightning runnin'' through my veins**lf**At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town**lf**I''d still be doin'' this if I wasn''t doin'' this**lf****lf**It ain''t about the fame**lf**It ain''t about the fortune**lf**It ain''t about the name**lf**It ain''t about the glory**lf**I guess I''m sayin'' it''s always been about**lf****lf**Having a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand**lf**Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band**lf**Singin'' them same damn songs like I am now**lf**I''d be feelin'' on fire on a hardwood stage**lf**Bright lights like lightning runnin'' through my veins**lf**At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town**lf**I''d still be doin'' this if I wasn''t doin'' this**lf****lf**Someone asked me once in an interview**lf**''What was growing up like, where''d you go to school?**lf**And what would you do if you weren''t doin'' this''
