[Intro]
[Verse]
Bobby played his guitar on the harder side of town
Where it s hard for a poor boy to find the money
He had dedication, he had the heart and soul
Somehow knew he was born to play
People would say get a real job
Support your family
Cause there s no future in the road you re taking
He never said a word, the dreamer just kept on
Late at night you could hear him say (he d say)
[Chorus]
I m gonna be somebody
One of these days I m gonna break these chains
I m gonna be somebody, someday
You can bet your hard earned dollar I will
[Verse]
The road was a struggle
Took him ten years to the top
But now he s number one on the stage and the radio
Still he can t believe how people come from miles around
When it seemed like it was only yesterday, he would say
[Chorus]
I m gonna be somebody
One of these days I m gonna break these chains
I m gonna be somebody someday
You can bet your hard earned dollar I will
[Verse]
Bobby played his hometown
One fullmoon August night
When he heard a voice in the front row saying
It was a, sandy haired riverboy
With those same old hungry eyes
Looked up at Bobby and said
[Chorus] x2
I m gonna be somebody someday
One of these days I m gonna break these chains
I m gonna be somebody someday
You can bet your hard earned dollar I will
[Outro]

You can bet your hard earned dollar I will
