Intro
Bobby played his guitar on the harder 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 would say get a real job
Support your family
Cause there's no future in the road you're taking
He never said a word, the dreamer just kept on
Late at night you could hear him say (he'd say)
Chorus
I'm gonna be somebody someday
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
But now he's number one on the stage and the radio
Still he can't believe how people come from miles around
When it seemed like it was only yesterday, he would say
Chorus
Bobby played his hometown
One fullmoon August night
When he heard a voice in the front row saying
It was a, sandy haired riverboy
With those same old hungry eyes
Looked up at Bobby and said
Chorus
Chorus
You can bet your hard earned dollar I will
