Garth Brooks
Guy Goin’ Nowhere
[Verse 1]
Don't waste your life behind that guitar
You may get gone, but you won't get far
You're not the first, boy you won't be the last
And you can tell us all about it when you come crawlin' back
Cause that road you're on, it just winds and winds
You're spinning your wheels, and wastin' your time

[Chorus]
But when the lights come up and I hear the band
And where they said I'd never be is right here where I stand
I see the crowd and I look around, and I can't find an empty chair
Not bad for a boy goin' nowhere

[Verse 2]
Now I get these calls, out on the road
Yeah we heard your song on the radio
We always said you'd make it big back then
Yeah and I tell everybody that I knew you back when
So don't forget us little folks
When you crash and burn, remember we told you so

[Chrous]
But then the lights come up and I hear the band
And where they said I'd never be is right here in Spokane
I see the crowd and I look around, and I can't find an empty chair
Not bad for a guy goin' nowhere
[Outro]
And I need to thank the Father for every song I sing
And for everyone who ever said I'd never be anything
It took a whole lot of 'yes I wills' and 'I don't cares'
A lot of run down dives and bars and rain soaked fairs
To get to all of you down here and way back there
Not bad for a guy goin' nowhere
Not bad for a boy goin' nowhere
