I'm Gonna Be Somebody (Live)

Yeah, yeah

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, son support your family
'Cause there's no future on the road you're takin'
But he never said a word, the dreamer just kept on
Late at night you could hear him singing
He'd sing

I'm gonna be somebody (oh, yeah)
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 would 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
Oh yes, I will

Played in his hometown, one full moon summer night
Heard a voice in the front row singing
It was a sandy-haired river boy with same old hungry eyes
He looked up at Bobby and said
He said

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
You know I will yeah, yeah

I'm gonna be somebody (it's like all of you people)
One of these days I'm gonna break these, these chains
I'm gonna be somebody, someday
You can bet your hard earned dollar I will

Yeah, baby
You can bet your hard earned dollar I will
Oh yes, I will

Thank you

Thank you so much
Good eve-
