Prompt / 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!)
