I got a foot in the door, and one in the rain I’m standing on the threshold of fortune and fame Out on a limb, I took that great leap of faith Though I might crash and burn but I might fly away Who knows there’s no telling what tomorrow holds And I ain’t got a clue how I made it this far With a few country songs on an acoustic guitar I’m not too good looking and I’m painfully shy Not cut out for the spotlight, just an ordinary guy Who sings about a little bit of everything And I’m no Hank Williams but I’m feeling his pain Strung out on the highway somewhere between comfort and shame Oh and its getting hard to see, its getting hard to see I ain’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 hittin’ you up For cash aww, the money burns too fast My wife’s worried sick, afraid that I won’t be true She’s seen all the movies, know what the highway can do
But I made a promise, praying my soul to keep So that my little boys won’t be ashamed of me one day Lord, keep these pretty girls away I’m no Hank Williams but I’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 (All) was my chance to provide (my chance to provide) A song for the ages (Aww) leave some good work behind I’m no role model, I’ve got more problems than most Momma called me a genius, but hell I ain’t even close A head full of questions, fumblin’ and stumblin’ around Hell I couldn’t even tell you where I’ll be a few months from now And I’m scared that I’m nowhere near prepared But I’ve got a foot in the door and one in the rain I’m standing on the threshold of fortune and fame I’ve got no way of knowing how its gonna end I could be shut in or shut out I guess it all depends on you Well they think I’m cool But I’m no Hank Williams No I’m no Hank Williams But I’m feeling his pain
