Seventeen had it all figured out
I was gonna play ball and make my daddy proud
But some big time folks came rollin into town
They heard me sing and it turned my life around
I had big dreams coulda done a lot of things but I needed 
to figure it out
Took a plane from Boston went from LA down to Austin
Then packed my bags for Nashville Tennessee
Heard the honky-tonkers playing
And the heartfelt words they're sayin
I fell in love with the simple melodies
Thank god that country found me
The opry never played on the radio
Never drove my truck down a backwoods county road
Took a while to get to music row
But now I'm here and I know that I'm home
Chorus
