I heard, "Go on and go But just know where you´re goin´s a dead end Playin´ in bars only makes you the star of a house band" And sometimes, the hardest part was just to keep playin´
I´d been gone long ago if I´d listened To what they were sayin´, what they were sayin´
But I didn´t, I don´t, I never will No, they just started a fire they can´t control And I wouldn´t trade one moment for the way it feels Know that I didn´t, I don´t, I never will
And they say seein´ your name up in lights You know it´s gonna change up You´ll look in the mirror some night And you´ll see a stranger But you gotta play the game If you ever wanna play to the big crowds You´ve gone as far as you´ll ever go Unless you´re willin´ to sell out, girl, sell out
Well, I didn´t, I don´t, I never will No, they just started a fire they can´t control And I wouldn´t trade one moment for the way it feels Know that I didn´t, I don´t, I never will Oh, I never will
"Money and fame, it´ll go to your head if you get it" They never did understand all the reasons we did it And I can point out the names and the faces of the people who said it Oh, but honestly, I just don´t want ´em to get any credit
Oh, I didn´t, no, I never will, I never will Oh, they just started a fire they can´t control, oh no, no
And you know I wouldn´t trade one moment for the way it feels The way it feels I didn´t, I don´t, I never will I never will
