Lyrics

Yeah so, what?s the deal with this business we call music
It?s funny how we never see the money
My record label isn?t what I?d call stable
So now I?m out on my own, trying to make a bone

Is it the world that we live in?
Or is it the gift I?m giving to you?
To play for free every night in your homes

(Chorus) So goodbye, to all you lovely people that I know
I?m going on tour for the rest of my life
Yeah, I?m gonna make it
Gonna be a big star bound for fortune and glory
Someday I?m gonna be the next big success story

Well I?ve been around but most of you don?t know me
I?ve been hidden by the powers that own me
Rollin solo on the road
Don?t want to go back home (oh no)
Well I don?t really have a master plan
But I got a chance when I do what I can

(Chorus)

I drank ten shots of whiskey back in San Diego
Skipped L.A., played three sets for three girls up in the bay
And I spent everything on guitar strings and gasoline
And I mean what I mean when I open up and sing
I?ve made 4,000 myspace friends who?ll follow me to end
And one good reason to do it again

(Chorus)

Someday I?m gonna be the next big success story
Any other life would bore me
I was meant to break through
So goodbye to all you lovely people

(Chorus)
