Country waltz. Rags to riches story with the outcome turned on it's head
Used to be someone
Ch.
I used to be someone but look at me now.
I'm Music Row's darling, the talk of the town.
Lipstick graffiti, that promises much.
Dressing room friends, an occasional bust.
All the bright lights they just appeared somehow
I used to be someone .... but I'm nobody now
V.
I was raised to be kind in the Tennessee hills.
My parents were poor but they paid all their bills.
I hunted wild turkey and fished in the streams.
Sometimes I'd pick guitar, somewhere in my dreams.
Now I'm the darling of prime time and star of the screen
I've a liveried chauffeur and a Lamborghini
I don't have a pal that don't crawl and don't bow
I used to be someone but I'm nobody now
Ch. Inst.
Br.
I don't want for nothing though nothing comes free,
like the faces of yesterday come haunting me
Ch.
I used to be someone but look at me now.
I'm Music Row's darling, the talk of the town.
Lipstick graffiti, the promise of lust.
Dressing room friends, an occasional bust.
All the bright lights have just turned way on down
I used to be someone but I'm no .... body now
