Beer Joints To The Opry

Wade Bowen & West 84


I don?t know how many times I?ve sat here and played this guitar 

And dreamt about the future of someday being a big star 

And I watch the people as they listen, they drink up and have a good time 

The only care they have in the world is what song?s next in line 

Fear is an obstacle one we all have to face 
You can either take it head on or you can stand in second place 
Dreams are a lifelong ambition when you give in they do too 
Just like momma always told me, it?s up to you whether they come true 

From the beer joints to the Opry, they all play the same old songs 

The only difference is the money, everybody still sings along 

I don?t know if I'm gonna make it but Lord knows I?ve gotta try 

So if anybody ever needs me from the beer joints to the Opry is where I?ll be     Some folks come to listen to me, some folks come to drink 
Some folks come to socialize and some folks they come to think 
I don?t care why you?re here, I'm just glad that you showed up 
And remember that we all live you and thanks for always pickin? us up 

Chorus 

This life I lead is very hard to do 
Thank God I love it so much 
And for having good friends like you
