Beer Joints to the Opry

I don't know how many times

I've sat here and played this guitar

And dreamt about the future of

Someday being a big star

And I watch the people as they listen

They drink up and have a good time

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:

From the beer joints to the Opry,

They all play the same old songs

The only difference is the money

Everybody still sings along

I don't know if I'm gonna make it

But Lord knows I've gotta try

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 love 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 old friends

Like you

Chorus
