10 Years

I moved to town, when I bought my first truck
And, now she's almost thirty
We'd go down to the songwriter's round, I sing my heart out, I got no worries

But, the Nashville dogs can write a song, somehow my baby, she still sings along
Aint' nobody, leavin', we don't stop believing', dreaming on and on, on and on, but its

10 years before they know your name, yeah
10 more years to stake your claim
Get your ass in line, put some thick on your skin
Cause its 10 more years, if you wanna' get in
They said, you can write, and sing like a bird
You write the best dang songs, that noboby's heard
They want Freebird for free, Sweet Caroline for 10 more years

So I got up, early and went to bed late, trying to, write the truth, face my potential fate
My life, my journey, looked at me, hiding there in my own words
You gotta' live like Skynryd said, be a simple man, follow your plan
And if it all comes crashing down, just remember, who's there holding your hand, but its

10 years before they know your name, yeah
10 more years to stake your claim
Get your, ass in line, put some thick on your skin
Cause its 10 more years, if you wanna' get in
They said, you can write, and sing like a bird
You write, the best dang songs, that nobody's heard
They want Freebird for free, Sweet Caroline for 10 more years

You can write and sing like a bird, you write the best dang songs, that nobody's heard
They want, Freebird for free, Sweet Caroline for 10 more years

10 years before they know your name, yeah
10 more years to stake your claim
Get your ass in line, put some thick on your skin
Cause its 10 more years, if you wanna' get in
They said, you can write, and sing like a bird
You write, the best dang songs, that nobody's heard
They want Freebird for free, Sweet Caroline for 10 more years
