Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I’m gonna be famous
It better be for this
Truck stop town on a Tuesday
Turned to Madison Square in my head
If they’re gonna take my picture
Hope it’s in this flannel shirt
Mic stand lean
Old boots hurt
But I’m still two-steppin’ through the dirt
[Chorus]
If I’m gonna be famous
Let it be for staying
Ten more songs when the room was thin
Still givin’ all I had to give
If I’m gonna be famous
Put my name on every
Dented sign on this county road
Where I learned to carry the load
If I’m gonna be famous
Let it be for this heart I show
[Verse 2]
If they’re gonna spin my story
Make it smell like smoke and rain
Mama’s hands on a paystub
Daddy cussin’ at the football game
If they quote me in a headline
Let it say I loved too much
Left it all on cheap bar stages
Never once lost my touch
[Chorus]
If I’m gonna be famous
Let it be for staying
Ten more songs when the room was thin
Still givin’ all I had to give
If I’m gonna be famous
Put my name on every
Dented sign on this county road
Where I learned to carry the load
If I’m gonna be famous
Let it be for this heart I show
[Bridge]
If there’s a last call spotlight
Shinin’ down on me (oh yeah)
I want the whole crowd shoutin’
“He’s just like us
He bleeds”
Not some perfect
Plastic story
Just a song that feels like home
[Chorus]
If I’m gonna be famous
Let it be for staying
Ten more songs when the room was thin
Still givin’ all I had to give
If I’m gonna be famous
Put my name on every
Dented sign on this county road
Where I learned to carry the load
If I’m gonna be famous
Let it be for this heart I show
If I’m gonna be famous
Let it be for this heart I show (hey!)
