(Verse 1)
I’ve been chasing down these neon dreams,
Writing lines no one may ever read.
Playing chords in an empty room,
Hoping someday they’ll mean something to you.
Every late night, every doubt,
Every time I almost walked out,
You were there telling me to stay,
Now I hear your voice in every note I play.
(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t need a sold-out crowd,
If you’re right there singing loud…
(Chorus)
I know I’ll never be one of the greats,
Like Shinedown or Three Days Grace.
But as long as I can make you proud and put a smile on your face,
That’s all that I want at the end of the day.
(Verse 2)
Yeah, I’ve seen the lights and the big-time names,
Heard the songs that put the world to shame,
But none of that means a thing to me,
If you’re not there in the front row seat.
Through every high and every low,
You believed when I didn’t know,
If this road would lead somewhere,
But you gave me more than I could ever repair.
(Pre-Chorus)
So I’ll keep playing every stage,
Even if it never pays…
(Chorus)
I know I’ll never be one of the greats,
Like Shinedown or Three Days Grace.
But as long as I can make you proud and put a smile on your face,
That’s all that I want at the end of the day.
(Guitar solo)
(Bridge – Call & Response)
Maybe I won’t make history, (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Or have the world remember me, (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
But if I’m everything you need, (whoa-oh!)
That’s enough of a legacy. (hey!)
So sing it loud, right here with me, (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
This is all I’ll ever need, (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
If you’re the one still next to me,
That’s enough… that’s everything. (whoa-oh, whoa-oh…)
(Final Chorus)
I know I’ll never be one of the greats,
Like Shinedown or Three Days Grace.
But as long as I can make you proud and put a smile on your face,
That’s all that I want at the end of the day.
I don’t need the lights or the fortune and fame,
Or a million people screaming my name,
If I’ve got you right here singing every word I say,
That’s all that I want at the end of the day.
