Nobody ever told him it was gonna be easy.
Nobody took the time to tell him what to do.
Small town couldn't keep him from the lights of the city;
Big dreams have a way of doin' that to you.
And in his mind, he knew just the way it would happen.
He had the look of a champion in his eyes.
He took a chance with a ticket on a train to glory.
He didn't know he was in for a big surprise.
He was a shy boy, such a shy boy.
He had a new kind of style. He was a million to one.
He had a way with his smile and he was learnin' to run.
He was a shy boy (shy boy), Lord, such a shy boy.
