First you buy an ol’ second–hand amp with a knob that sticks? | |
You plug a cheap Fender in, then you crank it to ten and you learn a few Haggard licks | |
Then you play every day for oh, about nine or ten years? | |
Writin’ songs for your girl and blowin’ all your money on gear | |
Then you talk to a drummer who’s a friend of a friend at church? | |
He’s got a buddy who’s been learnin’ the bass, so you get together after work | |
You play together six months ‘til the band is tight? | |
Book your first big gig on a Friday night? | |
Step up to the mic and pray you remember the words | |
Then you sing about love, or maybe love gone wrong? | |
And you do a little drinkin’ to a drinkin’ song? | |
You make everybody dance, everybody smile, everybody feel good for a while | |
And when you’re done...way to go, you finished step one | |
Next you borrow ten grand from your uncle and you make a CD | |
?Good luck payin’ him back, ‘cause it’s a modern–day fact, anybody can get it for free? | |
You spend your time online makin’ virtual fans, shoppin’ for a band van while you work for the man | |
‘Til you book enough gigs you can turn in your two weeks | |
Then you sing about love, or maybe love gone wrong? | |
And you do a little drinkin’ to a drinkin’ song? | |
You make everybody dance, everybody smile, everybody feel good for a while | |
And when you’re through....that’s pretty good, but that’s just step two?(Two step it now) | |
Step three: glue your hands to a steerin’ wheel? | |
Step four: eat fast food every meal? | |
Step five and six: fire the original band, and buy a new van | |
Step seven: burn out and give it up? | |
Step eight: come back ‘cause it’s what you love | |
?Step nine: you finally get a shot at the big time | |
So you sing about love, or maybe love gone wrong | |
?And you put your whole heart and soul into every song? | |
You make Letterman laugh and Leno smile, stack your awards up in a pile | |
And guess what’s next... Everybody calls you an overnight success | |
Yeah, you’re an overnight success. | |
?Hey, and all it really took was twenty years of blood, sweat and tears | |
?You know what, on second thought, maybe you should just... I don’t know... try out for American Idol or something |
