It's a hard-living, tail-kicking trip that we're [A] all on, but [E] I'm betting we can find a little sunshine [B] in the light.
Yeah, in my dreams.
[E] I've never been here before.
[B] I've never actually seen a live performance here, but my mom lives up in Grapevine, not far from here,
so we always come down, my brothers, to [B] the stock areas.
Have you ever [Cm] seen a show here?
[F#m] [A] I came [Am] here probably about [E] seven years ago, and [F#m] I [C#m] don't even think that I dared to [A] even imagine playing at Billy Bob's.
I [Bm] don't even think that I even pictured [F#] myself on stage.
It seemed [B] so crazy.
You [A] did picture yourself, though, cleaning the toilets.
Yeah, toilets.
Well, [E] I did tidy up in the bathroom.
In [B] Jess' dreams, he dreams [E] very practically.
In Jess' dreams, instead of toilet.
Practical dreaming.
[B] It's an oxymoron, but it works.
[E] He says, toilet, in his dreams.
That's the only difference.
My motto is, don't get your hopes up.
[B]
[E] So don't tease [B] me so [E] easy, just [A] turn off the [E] TV.
And yeah, it's cool.
[B] Anytime you get to wake up [C] [A#] on your bus and [C#m] see a bunch of rodeo [Am] cowboys roll by on their horses,
you know it's going to probably be a pretty [E] good night.
Or a really bad night.
[A]
[E]
[B]
This [E] is something, music is something [A] that we all grew up [E] in and around in [B] various forms.
[E] Started in early bands.
I grew up in a [A] little live honky-tonk myself out in [E] Arizona.
[A] You just kind of dream your whole [E] life.
[A] You're [E] that little kid singing in the [B] shower when nobody's around, [C] playing rock star and all that stuff.
[C#m]
And then [Am] one day, after working your [E] ass off and [F#]
getting through this thing and figuring out how it works
and learning [A] how to do the tap your head and [E] rubber tummy coordination of singing and playing.
[G#m] I don't know, [B] it's very surreal to find yourself playing and [A] making music, riding and recording and playing
with two of your best [E] friends and now with our whole band.
[B]
[E] Making music that [A] really means something to us.
[E] [B] It's special [E] every night.
So you get addicted, I guess [A] just the next [E] night we're living for that.
Every [A] time it's a [E] great show, [A] it gives you fuel to go [E] keep going for a [B] long time.
[E]
Yeah, in my dreams.
[E] I've never been here before.
