This song was written, played, and sung here by myself, Jeremy Hendrix.
acoustic music hendrix writer etc wild jeremy jgunner
My band is myself. That simple. If I grow some new arms and start playing anything other than guitar, I'll let you know.
I started this soundclick so that I could start putting my new and original work up on it. The old soundclick (Diamonds In the Rough www.soundclick.com/bands/7/diamondsintherough.htm) is plagued with bad singing and bad mediocre guitar playing. This is for my more evolved work. Check it often because I'll be updating older songs and putting new ones up as soon as I can get them recorded.

Story behind the song
This song tells it's story just in it's title. It's basically just telling all the people that are against you and try to hold you back, "Don't tell me that I can't do what I want to do with my life." It's not well-written, which you can tell by the repetitiveness of the song, but it wasn't meant to satisfy a large audience. Just myself at the time.
Lyrics
Verse 1 G - D - C - G - G - D - C - D I know there's no hope for me, but don't tell me that I won't make it. I know that there's not a good chance, but don't tell me that. Please, don't tell me that. Chorus A - C - G 2x - A - C - G - D - A - C - D - G I wanna be the star like in my dreams. Can't wait to see the lights and live the big scene. Nothing to stop me from doing what I very well please. Don't tell me that I can't. I want it, so don't tell me that. Verse 2 G - D - C - G - G - D - C - D There may not be anything that'll help me along the way, but don't tell me that I won't make it. If you can't say anything good just turn away, and don't tell me that. Please, don't tell me that. Chorus A - C - G 2x - A - C - G - D - A - C - D - G I wanna be the star like in my dreams. Can't wait to see the lights and live the big scene. Nothing to stop me from doing what I very well please. Don't tell me that I can't. I want it, so don't tell me that. Bridge D - A - C - G No matter what you do to stop me. No matter how hard you try. I'll just keep pushing on toward the light. Verse 3 G - D - C - G - G - D - C - D So if you think I should just give up, don't tell me that I won't make it, and if it comes between you and me, don't tell me that. Please, don't tell me that. Chorus A - C - G 2x - A - C - G - D - A - C - D - G I wanna be the star like in my dreams. Can't wait to see the lights and live the big scene. Nothing to stop me from doing what I very well please. Don't tell me that I can't. I want it, so don't tell me that.
