Don't waste your life

behind that guitar

You may get gone,

but you won't get far

You're not the first,

you won't be the last

And you can tell us all about it

when you come crawling back

That road you're on,

just winds and winds

Your spinning your wheels

and wasting you're time

But when the lights come up

And I hear the band

And where they said I'd never be

is e actly where I am

I hear the crowd

I look around

And I can't find an empty chair

Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere

I get these calls,

out on the road

Heard your song on my radio

We always said

you'd make it big

And I tell all my friends,

I knew you back when

So don't forget

all us little folks

And when you crash and burn

Remember we told you so

And then the lights come up

And I hear the band

And where they said I'd never be

is e actly where I am

I hear the crowd

I look around

And I can't find one empty chair

Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere

I need to thank my daddy

For that first set of strings

And all those folks who swore

I'd never be anything

It took a whole lot of yes

I wills and I don't care

A whole lot of basement dives

and county fairs

To this show right now and

y'all sure look good out there

Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere

Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
