  • 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 exactly 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 exactly 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 Writer/s: Ashley McBryde, Jeremy Dewayne Bussey
