I'm Still Here

Well I made this trip several years ago Followed my heart cause I couldn't say no Left everything that I'd ever known for some fortune and some fame Went way past broke paying dues Right down to nothing but my soul to lose And I'm way past having something to prove Or changing the way I sing This roads paved in blood sweat and tears I'm still here I been told I'd be the next big thing Been told I should've never came Even stopped believing in myself a time or too It's a sobering thought to think sometimes That I might've done nothing but waste my time all these years Call me dumb Or just plain lucky I'm still here This ol town's full of dreamers like me We're all searchin' for the same thing Just somewhere to play and sing And a crowd to sing along I've seen a lot of good people pack it up And head back home when they'd had enough And turn their back on what they love and try to move on This roads paved in blood sweat and tears But I'm still here I been told I'd be the next big thing Been told I should've never came Even stopped believing in myself a time or too It's a sobering thought to think sometimes That I might've done nothing but waste my time all these years Call me dumb Or just plain lucky I'm still here Some nights I bow my head to pray I wonder if God hears what I say He ain't through with me that much is clear I'm still here Oh I'm still here I'm still here Oh I'm still Yeah Mm hmm Oh Yeah
