I got a foot in the door, and one in the rain
IÂ’m standing on the threshold of fortune and fame
Out on a limb, I took that great leap of faith
So I might crash and burn but I might fly away
Who knows Â… ThereÂ’s no telling what tomorrow holds
And I ainÂ’t got a clue how I made it this far
With a few country songs on an acoustic guitar
IÂ’m not too good looking and IÂ’m painfully shy
Not cut out for the spotlight, just an ordinary guy
Who sings Â… about a little bit of everything
And IÂ’m no Hank Williams but IÂ’m feeling his pain
Strung out on a highway somewhere between comfort and shame
Oh and its getting hard to see, its getting hard to see
I ainÂ’t got a new car, no mansion on a hill
Just a three bedroom house and whole bunch of bills
Its hard to get rich when everyone wants a cut
And all the family and friends they keep hitting you up
For cash Â… aww, the money burns too fast
My wifeÂ’s worried sick, afraid that I wonÂ’t be true
SheÂ’s seen all the movies, know what the highway can do
But I made a promise, praying my soul to keep
So my little boys wonÂ’t be ashamed of me one day
Lord, keep these pretty girls away
And IÂ’m no Hank Williams but IÂ’m feeling his pain
Stretched out in a back seat, a good man driven to drink
Oh and its getting hard to see
All that I wanted (AllÂ…) Â… was my chance to provide (my chance to provideÂ…)
A song for the ages (AwwwÂ…) Â… leave some good work behind
IÂ’m no role model, IÂ’ve got more problems than most
Momma called me a genius, but hell I ainÂ’t even close
A head full of questions, fumbling and stumbling around
Hell I couldnÂ’t even tell you where IÂ’ll be a few months from now
And IÂ’m scared that IÂ’m no where near prepared
But IÂ’ve got a foot in the door and one in the rain
Not standing on the threshold of fortune and fame
IÂ’ve got no way of knowing how its gonna end
I could be shut in or shut out Â… I guess it all depends on you
Well they think IÂ’m cool
But IÂ’m no Hank Williams
No IÂ’m no Hank Williams
But IÂ’m feeling his pain
