Travis Tritt - I'm Gonna Be Somebody lyrics

Bobby played his guitar on the hard 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 say, get a real job, support your family

'Cause there's no future on the road your taking

But he never said a word, the dreamer just kept on

Late at night you can hear him say

He'd 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

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

He was saying

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 singing

It was a sandy-haired rebel boy with 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

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

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
