Well, I met old Wailin back in '79 |
|
When I was in my teens |
|
When I told him what was on my mind |
|
He said son you don't wanna feel like me |
|
There's a lot 'bout my life that you don't know |
|
And boy it sure ain't good |
|
The big wheels will drive you crazy |
|
And the highway will make you do things you never would |
|
When you're living in the spotlight |
|
It's another world every night |
|
It's a different town everyday |
|
You pay your dues if you're gonna play |
|
The only thing that makes it worthwhile |
|
Is a big crowd going wild |
|
But you gotta long way to go |
|
You gotta long, long way to go |
|
But I've had this in my blood since the day |
|
I held a guitar in my hand |
|
And it wasn't long till Baumann was the home |
|
Of another cowboy band |
|
And too cold at home put me on the road |
|
And I know exactly how he felt |
|
Back then how was I to know |
|
That the hands of fate for me were already dealt |
|
Now I'm living in the spotlight |
|
It's another town every night |
|
It's a different world everyday |
|
You pay your dues if you're gonna play |
|
The only thing that makes it worthwhile |
|
Is a big crowd going wild |
|
But I've gotta long way to go |
|
I gotta long, long way to go |
|
A long, long way to go |
