about

The lyrics address the pursuit of happiness in the face of the ever-ticking hands of time. The song is equal parts serious meditation and cheeky observation as it presents a young musician with a head full of glamorous hopes and dreams being faced with a not-so-glamorous road to get there.

lyrics

It’s the changin’ of the seasons
It’s gotta be the reason
I’m feeling sore

People give me the best advice
Put your foot in the door, kid and don’t ya think twice
How could you ask for more?

Spend my nights wonderin’
How it’s gonna be

Well I know you’re thinkin’ of me but I’ve got big plans
Tour around the country in a beat up van
Hit the ground runnin’, make a lot of money
Yeah, I wanna be the singer in a country band

Remember how it used to feel
When them nights were long and love was real
And we thought we could rule the world

Near the point of no return
No lookin’ back, no time to burn
Boys we gotta hit the road

Spend my days dreamin’ about
The stars we’re gonna be

Well, I know you’re thinkin’ of me but I’ve got big plans
Tour around the country in a beat up van
Hit the ground runnin’, make a lot of money
Yeah, I wanna be the singer in a country band

I met a man, most of his life was through
I seen the pain and regret in his eyes
He told me son, you gotta do what you gotta do
Every man must answer his own call

Well, I know you’re thinkin’ of me but I’ve got big plans
Tour around the country in a beat up van
Hit the ground runnin’, make a lot of money
Yeah, I wanna be the singer in this country band

(Well, I know you’re thinkin’ of me but I’ve got big plans
Tour around the country in a beat up van
Hit the ground runnin’, make a lot of money
Yeah, I wanna be the singer in a country band)

Here I am

Well, I wanna be the singer in a country band
