Travis Tritt - I'm Gonna Be Somebody Lyrics

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 in the road you're takin'"
He never said a word. The dreamer just kept on
Later at night you could hear him sing

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, it took him ten years to the top
But now he's number one on the stage and the radio
Still he can't believe how people come from miles around
when it seemed like only yesterday

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 home town 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 old hungry eyes
He looked up at Bobby and 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

You know I will, yeah, yeah
"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
Oh, yeah, you can bet your hard earned dollar I will
