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 knew he was born to play

People said "Get a real job
Support your family
'Cause there's no future on
The road your 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
When 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, yeah, 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 the same ol' hungry eyes
He looked up at Bobby and said (M-m-m)

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
And 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
