[Verse 2] D I'd be drivin' my first car, an old worn-out Dodge D Tryin' to make rent with a G dead-end job, just makin' due Bm A With tips in a jar, my guitar, G and an old barstool [Chorus] D I'd have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand D/F# Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band Bm A Singin' them same damn songs G like I am now D I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage D/F# Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins Bm A At the Grand Ole Opry or a show G in some no-name town I'd still be doin' this D if I wasn't doin' this

[Verse 3] D I'd still be the same guy they knew back in the day D Who was burnin' CDs just to give away G Payin' his dues if D I wasn't doin' this [Verse 4] D Five deep in a van, head full of steam D Hot on the heels of my neon G dreams maybe comin' true Bm A Livin' this life just like G I was born to do
