Where I Belong

Well I didn't move to Nashville
Thought I could make a better life
Perfect car, career, and credit score
And a pretty little wife
One step forward two steps backwards
Is how it all plays out I've found
Some folks chase their dreams
But me I'm stuck here in this town

My buddies used to tell me
You should just give it a try
I Told them it wasn't for me
But I couldn't tell them why
So I play here on the weekends
In this little corner bar
I'd love to play the Opry
But I won't make it that far

But I play songs to make folks happy
Cause that's what it does for me
May be what I was born to do
But not who I was meant to be
Don't care about how many people
Ever hear this song
Stuck here in this town and in this bar
Is right where I belong

I clock in from 8 to 5
Head home when I clock out
A different hotel every night's
Something I'm not mad about
Don't drive across the country
And play the same thing every night
I sit on the ol' barstool
And play what I think feels right

Cause I play songs to make folks happy
Cause that's what it does for me
May be what I was born to do
But not who I was meant to be
Don't care about how many people
Ever hear this song
Stuck here in this town and in this bar
Is right where I belong

I sleep til' 12 on Saturday
And I do what I please
I may wind up here in this bar
But it feels good to be free
Don't have to miss my family
Or miss the holidays
I'm living the dream I just found a different way

Cause I play songs to make folks happy
Cause that's what it does for me
May be what I was born to do
But not who I was meant to be
Don't care about how many people
Ever hear this song
Stuck here in this town and in this bar
Finding happiness right where you are
Is right where I belong

Oh I'm right where I belong
