Hasn't Happened Yet

Barely twenty-one Fresh out of school With a dime store six-string Strumming on a barstool Drinking luke-warm beer With a half-written song Not a doubt in his mind That it won't take long Before he's up on that stage Every Friday night To a sold-out crowd Under the neon lights So he'll keep on singing Playing them songs Knowing one day that they'll all sing along Living that life Traveling the world Fortune and fame and good-looking girls And a house on a hill Paid for with a string of hits But it just hasn't happened yet Five years later He didn't count on this Still sitting in the same bar playing for tips But he just met a guy He's got a meeting next week Yeah, things are looking up Oh just wait and see Cause he'll be up on that stage Every Friday night To a sold-out crowd Under the neon lights So he'll keep on singing Playing them songs Knowing one day that they'll all sing along Living that life Traveling the world Fortune and fame and good-looking girls And a house on the hill Paid for with a string of hits But it just hasn't happened yet The meeting went well He got his big break A thirty-minute slot And an album on the way Yeah, his stars lined up It's so close that he could touch So he'll keep on singing Playing them songs Knowing one day that they'll all sing along Living that life Travelin the world Fortune and fame and good-looking girls He'll keep on singin' Playing them songs Knowing one day that they'll all sing along Living that life Traveling the world Fortune and fame and good-looking girls And a house on the hill Paid for with a string of hits And a house on the hill Paid for with a string of hits But it just hasn't happened yet No, it just hasn't happened yet It just hasn't happened yet
