  D              G               A                           D
I don’t know how many times I’ve sat here and played this guitar
    D                G                 A           D 
And dreamt about the future of someday being a big star
      D                        G                  A                  D
And I watch the people as they listen, they drink up and have a good time
         G         G/F#        Em       A 
The only care they have in the world is what song’s next in line

Fear is an obstacle one we all have to face
You can either take it head on or you can stand in second place
Dreams are a lifelong ambition when you give in they do too
Just like momma always told me, it’s up to you whether they come true


Chorus
         D                  G              A                 D
From the beer joints to the Opry, they all play the same old songs
         D                 G           A                 D
The only difference is the money, everybody still sings along
        D                 G                A                D  
I don’t know if I'm gonna make it but Lord knows I’ve gotta try
      G  G/F# Em         A           G                  A                  D
So if anybody ever needs me from the beer joints to the Opry is where I’ll be


Some folks come to listen to me, some folks come to drink
Some folks come to socialize and some folks they come to think
I don’t care why you’re here, I'm just glad that you showed up
And remember that we all live you and thanks for always pickin’ us up

Chorus

This life I lead is very hard to do
Thank God I love it so much
And for having good friends like you

Chorus
