Lyrics

Verse 1
High school came to an end,
Had a guitar and a dream of making it big,
(I) Got the keys to my dad’s Ford,
A beat-up van with some rusted out doors,

Verse 2
I threw all I owned in the back,
And headed out to be like Willie or Cash,
Landing gigs, earning my stripes,
The honky-tonks and those Nashville nights,

Pre-Chorus
Flying high chasing that one big break,
Never knowing how long that would take,

Chorus 1
You love the glitz and glamour,
Of the bright lights and the stage
You didn’t see the sweat and tears,
Or the money I didn’t make,
Now I’m livin’ it up in a rundown van,
Burnin’ miles across the nation,
I’m your everyday, ordinary, average,
Overnight sensation

Verse 3
One year turned to 5,
Then 5 turned to 10,
I missed birthdays, weddings and lost some friends,
I’d find love in every little town,
But this rolling stone wouldn’t put his roots down,

Pre-Chorus
Still chasing that one big break,
Never caring how long that would take,

Chorus 2
You love glitz and glamour,
Of the bright lights and the stage,
But you don’t see the work and fight,
Or the countless dues I paid,
I left everything I knew behind,
With sheer determination,
I’m your everyday, ordinary, average,
Overnight sensation

Bridge
Some called me crazy,
To want it so much,
But they don’t feel,
How deep this dream runs,

Nothing to lose,
I gambled on myself,
And I bet it all,
Because I’ve got nothing else,

Guitar Solo

Pre-Chorus
Still chasing down that one big break,
Never caring how long that may take,

Chorus 3
You love the glitz and glamour,
Of the bright lights and the stage,
But you didn’t see all the years it took,
To finally catch that break,

(And) You know I wouldn’t be here,
Without you in the stands,
and I’m playin’ my heart out every night,
Givin’ it all I can,

Now that beat up van is a big tour bus,
Still rollin’ ‘cross the nation,
I’m your everyday, ordinary, average,
Overnight sensation

I’m an everyday, ordinary, average,
Overnight sensation
