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