Sittin' on my porch with my old guitar in hand
Strummin' out some chords tryna make a stand
But the road to greatness I've come to understand
Takes more than just a few strums it's a lifelong brand
Ten thousand hours that's what they all say
Dedicated practice day after day
But I won't let it break me no I won't sway
Gonna keep on pushin' gonna find my own way
Ten thousand hours in the heat and the rain
Through the joy and the sorrow through the love and the pain
With every strum every chord I play
I'm gettin' closer I'm on my way
Sometimes I stumble sometimes I fall
But I pick up my guitar stand up tall
'Cause ten thousand hours they answer the call
Of a master in the making breaking down the wall
Oh the journey's long and the road is winding
But with ten thousand hours I'm finding
That every sunrise every setting sun
Is another step closer another battle won
Ten thousand hours in the heat and the rain
Through the joy and the sorrow through the love and the pain
With every strum every chord I play
I'm gettin' closer I'm on my way
Sometimes I stumble sometimes I fall
But I pick up my guitar stand up tall
'Cause ten thousand hours they answer the call
Of a master in the making breaking down the wall
