Dad sold every record he ever owned
Floyd and Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones
A lifetime of music gone just to get me through
Momma always had her a second job
Gone with the sun until six o´clock

Whatever it took to get by she was gonna do
Didn´t dawn on me back then but now I see
Without them, I wouldn´t be me

When I´m up here on this stage
The spotlight´s on my face
But I see you
Sure it´s me behind this mic stand
It´s me strumming this Gibson
It´s me they love to give the credit to
But me don´t mean a thing without you

You make sacrifices every night and day
Never hear the crowd scream your name
But there´s a smile and a hand to hold when the show is through
I´d give it all up just to keep your love
But you wouldn´t let me because you care too much

About watching me watch my dreams all come true

When I´m up here on this stage
The spotlight´s on my face
But I see you
Sure it´s me behind this mic stand
It´s me strumming this Gibson
It´s me they love to give the credit to
But me don´t mean a thing without you

You worked overtime to buy those tickets
The gas, the beer and the babysitters
Just to spend one night with your baby at a country show
Paid twenty damn dollars for a place to park
Got in line early to grab your spot
So you deserve every word, every line of your favorite tune

When I´m up here on this stage
The spotlight´s on my face
But I see you
Sure it´s me behind this mic stand
It´s me strumming this Gibson
It´s me they love to give the credit to
I´m just trying to give the credit where credit´s due
Because me don´t mean a thing without you
Without you
