Intro
[C]
Verse 1
Someone asked [C]me once in an interview
What was [C]growing up like? Where'd you go to school?
And what would you [F]do if you weren't [C]doin' this?
Verse 2
I'd be [C]drivin' my first car, an old worn-out Dodge
Tr[C]Tryin' to make rent with a dead-end job, just [F]makin' due
With tips in a [Am]jar, my [G]guitar, and an old bar[F]barstool
Chorus
I'd have a [C]Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
Cup of [C/E]brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
[Am]Singin' them same damn [G]songs like I am [F]now
I'd be [C]feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage
Bright [C/E]lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
At the [Am]Grand Ole Opry or a [G]show in some no-name [F]town
I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' [C]this

I'd still [C]be the same guy they knew back in the day
Who was [C]burnin' CDs just to give away
Payin' his [F]dues if I wasn't [C]doin' this
Verse 4
Five [C]deep in a van, head full of steam
[C]Hot on the heels of my neon dreams maybe [F]comin' true
Livin' this [Am]life just [G]like I was born to [F]do
Chorus
I'd have a [C]Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
Cup of [C/E]brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
[Am]Singin' them same damn [G]songs like I am [F]now
I'd be [C]feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage
Bright [C/E]lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
At the [Am]Grand Ole Opry or a [G]show in some no-name [F]town
I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' [C]this

It [Am]ain't about the fame
It [G]ain't about the fortune
It [C]ain't about the name
It [F]ain't about the glory
I [Am]guess I'm sayin' it's [G]always been [F]about

Having a [C]Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
Cup of [C/E]brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
[Am]Singin' them same damn [G]songs like I am [F]now

Bright [C/E]lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
