Nobody Knows My Name

I was sold a dream just at 18 While my friends got their degrees Moved to city with no money Sometimes I feel like my luck ran out Wonder if anyone hears me now But when the curtain calls the crowds loud I hope to God I made my family proud I’m sick of waiting table after table Just so at the end of the week I’m able To pay my way But still nobody knows my name People around me living freely And I’m making music no one’s hearing What I’d do to feel the same ‘Cuz still nobody knows my name Would I be happy if I’d gone easy Bought a house at 23 Made a living, forgot about dreams I don’t feel so lucky right now Wishing somebody would hear me out Has my head been living up in the clouds I hope to God I made my family proud I’m sick of waiting table after table Just so at the end of the week I’m able To pay my way But still nobody knows my name People around me living freely And I’m making music no one’s hearing What I’d do to feel the same Cuz still nobody knows my name.
