Well it's time now to be somebody
I had some time, friend
Been on my mind
Hey Alabama
Hey Tennessee
You know Missouri ain't doin' fine
[Chorus:]
I heard her heartbeat just like a gunshot
Some smoke and mirrors is what she said
Will that circle ring around me
Down in fire burn white and red?
It's been time now to be somebody
To lay them cards down and cash on in
Wayward women and ways with whiskey
Hope Uncle Jesse and you all win
[Chorus]
Ain't it time now to be somebody
To lay them cards down and take what's mine
Hey Mississippi
Louisiana
You know New Orleans been on my mind
Well, it's time now to be somebody
You know somebody is still someone
