Beer Joints to the Opry
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
