Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Yeah the sun’s goin’ down on a long hard road Leather on my back, yeah I carried that load Got gold on the shelf, got chrome on the floor Can’t see the handle to my own front door Dust on the plaques, names carved deep Every damn win I was born to keep I stumble in late, boots hittin’ the ground Kickin’ over glory, hear that victory sound Pre-Chorus They keep sayin’ slow down, but I just laugh When success piles up in my welcome mat Chorus I got trophies by the door, gotta kick ‘em aside Push ‘em out the way just to get inside Yeah the past keeps clinkin’ every time I stride Too many wins, man, nowhere to hide I got trophies by the door Yeah, trophies by the door Verse 2 Shiny little statues starin’ up at me From barroom nights to the big marquee Every scratch tells a story, every dent’s a fight Every one of ‘em earned in the heat of the night They line the hallways, they block the stairs Gold-plated dreams everywhere Mama said, “Boy, you’re gonna break the floor” I said, “That’s the sound of another encore” Pre-Chorus I ain’t braggin’, just tellin’ the truth When the wins stack high from the fire of youth Chorus I got trophies by the door, gotta kick ‘em aside Push ‘em out the way just to get inside Hear ‘em rattle and roll when I come alive Too much glory just to survive I got trophies by the door Yeah, trophies by the door Guitar Solo (wah-soaked bends, bluesy runs, crowd claps on the backbeat) Bridge If it all came crashin’ down tonight I’d still walk in with my head held high ‘Cause the real prize ain’t what shines and gleams It’s the fire in my blood and the noise in my dreams Chorus (Final) I got trophies by the door, yeah they scrape and slide Push ‘em out the way just to get inside Let ‘em fall, let ‘em break, I’ve already tried To count ‘em all—man I gave that up I got trophies by the door Still comin’ back for more Outro Yeah I wipe my boots on a pile of fame Turn the knob, do it all again Tomorrow night, when the crowd roars loud There’ll be more damn trophies in a bigger pile now
