Lyrics

I learned G, C, and D On a hand-me-down guitar At thirteen all my heros Were country music stars When I played those songs for mama Oh the smile it would bring And lookin' back That's when I feel in love With this singin' thing My first payed gig Was Uncle Jim's birthday bash When I got through They passed the hat I made $18 cash Who'd have thought they'd pay good money For bendin' guitar strings But it made me think that I might have a chance At this singin' thing And I'd do it all for nothin' And I'd do it all again It's who I want to be And it's who I've always been Some folks may call me crazy Just a fool out chasin' dreams But in my heart, it's everything to me When all my friends went off to college I went to school in honkytonks I got my degree in readin' crowds And writin' country songs Well, they say this road ain't easy Lord, I know what they mean But it's been worth all the dues I've had to pay For this singin' thing I'd do it all for nothin' And I'd do it all again It's who I want to be And it's who I've always been Some folks may call me crazy Just a fool out chasin' dreams But in my heart, it's everything to me As I stand here on this stage And play for you tonight I know why I'm a lucky man To live this kind of life When those lights come up And I hear those guitars ring I tip my hat to each and every one of you And I thank God that I get to do This singin' thing I learned G, C, and D On a hand-me-down guitar At thirteen all my heros Were country music stars
