Used to punch the clock, workin' that nine to five
Barely gettin' by, just tryin' to survive
Had big dreams, but they felt so far
Slingin' grease, fixin' cars, now I'm strummin' my guitar
Now I'm hittin' that stage, lights in my eyes
Crowd's callin' my name, feels like I'm alive
Never thought I'd see the day
When I could throw them worries away, hey!
Now I'm rollin' with the big dogs, runnin' with the best
Playin' every night, I ain't got no stress
Lookin' back, man, it's hard to believe
The life I live now is more than I could ever dream
No more workin' bad jobs, no more fakin' a smile
I'm takin' my shot, goin' mile for mile
Never thought I'd see the day
But here I am, and I'm here to stay
Mama always said"Keep your feet on the ground"
But I'm flyin' high, playin' shows in every town
Ain't forget where I come from, small town raised
But now I'm feelin' that swagger every time I hit the stage
Now I'm hittin' that stage, lights in my eyes
Crowd's callin' my name, feels like I'm alive
Never thought I'd see the day
When I could throw them worries away, hey!
Now I'm rollin' with the big dogs, runnin' with the best
Playin' every night, I ain't got no stress
Lookin' back, man, it's hard to believe
The life I live now is more than I could ever dream
No more workin' bad jobs, no more fakin' a smile
I'm takin' my shot, goin' mile for mile
Never thought I'd see the day
But here I am, and I'm here to stay
Didn't get here easy, had to hustle and grind
But I knew deep down I was born to shine
Now every night's a party, every show's a win
I ain't lookin' back, no, I'm all the way in
Now I'm rollin' with the big dogs, runnin' with the best
Playin' every night, I ain't got no stress
Lookin' back, man, it's hard to believe
The life I live now is more than I could ever dream
No more workin' bad jobs, no more fakin' a smile
I'm takin' my shot, goin' mile for mile
Never thought I'd see the day
But here I am, and I'm here to stay
Here to stay, yeah, here to stay
Here to stay, here to stay
