They said boy you'll never make it big
But here I am chasing dreams so lean
No suit no tie just me and my grit
Living life loud like you've never seen
When they doubted I just sang out loud
Turned my pain into a fierce crowd
No charts to climb just passion's shout
In this heart there's no backing out
Oh they can't crush this fire inside
I'm a star on a wild ride
Writing songs under city lights
Chasing dreams breaking ceilings high
Bills pile up but I keep my stride
No fame no cash couldn't turn this tide
One note at a time amidst all snide
Here I stand taking it all in stride
Friends left foes tried to pull me down
But I played my chords in every town
With each strum I turned my fate around
Music's my voice and I own that sound
Oh they can't crush this fire inside
I'm a star on a wild ride
Writing songs under city lights
Chasing dreams breaking ceilings high
