Lyrics

He’s got an old Fender amp, and a microphone,
unpaid bills, and outstanding loans....
gets all that he can from his rusty old car,
savin’ up his pennies for a new guitar...

CHORUS: He’s got a whole lotta rock,
little bit of roll, one part blues,
two parts soul, a touch of country,
cry in your beer.....he hears it loud,
and he hears it clear...
He don’t care what the people might say...
He’s got a song in his heart,
that’s gotta see the light of day....

His Daddy said son, you better get yourself a trade,
gotta fall back on sumthin’ if you don’t make the grade.
But he don’t wanna listen to his old man...
wants to hit the road with a four piece band.......CHORUS

BRIDGE: Livin’ on coffee and pizza, sleepin’ on a friend’s
couch, but he’ll keep on reachin’, the boy never had
no doubt....

He’s playin’ four nights a week, down at Swampy’s Grill....
just a local dive, but to him it’s a thrill....
the bass player’s drunk, but the drummer’s on fire,
three sets a night, to the closin’ wire....

CHORUS
