I'm Gonna Be Somebody

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 he knew he was born to play
 People said, "Get a real job, support your family
 'Cause there's no future in the road you're takin'"
 He never said a word, the dreamer just kept on
 Late at night you could hear him say
 He said
 I'm gonna be somebody
 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
 And now he's number one on the stage and the radio
 Still, he can't believe how people come from miles around
 When it seems like only yesterday he would say
 I'm gonna be somebody
 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
 Hey-yeah-yeah

 Bobby played his hometown, one full moon August night
 When he heard a voice in the front row singin'
 It was a sandy-haired rebel boy with same ole hungry eyes
 He looked up at Bobby and said
 
 I'm gonna be somebody
 One of these days I'm gonna break these chains
 And I'm gonna be somebody someday
 You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will
 You know I will, yeah-yeah
 I'm gonna be somebody
 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
 Oh, yeah
 You can bet your hard-earned dollar
 I will
