Ed Bruce - The Greatest Hit lyrics

He could never pay her back For all she's done for him She never asked for more Than what he could afford to spend back then And when the business got him down She wouldn't let him quit She'd say, "I believe someday you'll make it big All you need's a hit" She often had to work two jobs So he could play at night He'd chase his dream while she'd come home Too tired sometimes to eat a bite If give up came up, she'd say "Hon, I love you, don't forget I believe someday you'll finally make it big All you need's a hit" Then one day it hit him Like a bolt out of the blue He said, "What am I searching for so hard when I have you So he wrote her down on paper And he put a tune to it The inspiration for the one that made him big She was his greatest hit
