I'm Gonna Be Somebody - Travis Tritt

Bobby played his guitar on the harder side of town

Where it’s hard for a poor boy to find the money

He had dedication, he had the heart and soul

Somehow knew he was born to play

People said «Get a real job, support your family

'Cause there’s no future on the road your takin'»

He never said a word, the dreamer just kept on

Late at night you could hear him say, he said

I’m gonna be somebody

One of these days I’m gonna break these chains

I’m gonna be somebody someday

You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will

The road was a struggle, took him ten years to the top

And now he’s number one on the stage and the radio

Still he can’t believe how people come from miles around

When it seems like only yesterday when he would say

I’m gonna be somebody

One of these days I’m gonna break these chains

I’m gonna be somebody someday

You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will, yeah, yeah, yeah

Bobby played his hometown, one full moon August night

When he heard a voice in the front row singin'

It was a sandy-haired rebel boy with the same ol' hungry eyes

He looked up at Bobby and said (Mmm)

I’m gonna be somebody

One of these days I’m gonna break these chains

And I’m gonna be somebody someday

You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will

You know I will, yeah, yeah

I’m gonna be somebody

One of these days I’m gonna break these chains

And I’m gonna be somebody someday

You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will, oh yeah

You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will
