lyrics

I travel this road on my own
Don't tell my fans my dad pays for my phone
I'm all alone
With no support from my family or friends
and no expensive school to attend
Just my guitar and my pen

No I won't give up, I won't give in
I'll thank myself when I win
and share with no one
I got no fancy haircut
and my life isn't fair, but
I'll make my way and be famous one day

I can sing more cliches if you want
Just buy me lunch at a nice restaurant
I'm too cool and poor
I don't play a part in this capitalist regime
You'll find no cash in my secondhand jeans
I only barter

I sing right from the heart
If you quote the Bible it's art
Proverbs 21:19
I'm an underdog story
and if you try to ignore me
I'll make my way and be famous one day

Be famous, be famous

I'll sing this an octave down just for a change
Show off my vocal range
I had no lessons
The critics all love me
so does Jesus above me
so I'll make my way and be famous one day
