I grew up near the everglades
Where Dolly and Haggard
Were kinda outta place
I’d put the top down
On my white mustang
And when I turned it up loud,
Man I thought I could sing.
I guess you could say
I was raised on a stage
In a playpen by his side
While my daddy played bass
See, he was a rocker and I was his fan
Then he gave me that fiddle and we
Started makin plans
It was only a matter of time
Till I out grew home
With stars in my eyes
Just trin’ to figure out
What I was all about
Believin’ it would all work out
I head to head north to be in the south
See I had me a song
I just had to get out
So I gave up the beach for a
Tennessee dream
And a chance in the
Country music lottery
And I thought how cool it’d be
To see my face on CMT
And makes everybody proud
Oh ain’t it somethin’
How it all works out.
And I can’t count the times
I’ve over paid my dues
There are miles when I’m so tired
Of walking in my own shoes
There are people that say trust me
While they tell me lies
But I won’t compromise
No, I’ll never compromise
I’d said I’d never be somebody else
Cause there’s somethin’ to be said
About being true to yourself
Now I’m out on the road
In a 5 piece band
With my daddy on guitar
As my right hand man
It’s like some fantasy
And I still can’t believe that it’s
Happenin’ to me
Singin’ for you now
Is what it’s all about
Yeah, it all worked out
Keep believin’ it will all work out
