I'm Gonna Be Somebody (Live)

Yeah, yeah

Bobby played his guitar on the hard 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 say get a real job, son support your family

'Cause there's no future on the road you're takin'

But he never said a word, the dreamer just kept on

Late at night you could hear him singing

He'd sing

I'm gonna be somebody (oh, yeah)

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

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

Oh yes, I will

Played in his hometown, one full moon summer night

Heard a voice in the front row singing

It was a sandy-haired river boy with same old hungry eyes

He looked up at Bobby and said

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

You know I will yeah, yeah

I'm gonna be somebody (it's like all of you people)

One of these days I'm gonna break these, these chains

I'm gonna be somebody, someday

You can bet your hard earned dollar I will

Yeah, baby

You can bet your hard earned dollar I will

Oh yes, I will

Thank you

Thank you so much

Good eve-
