lyrics

Mamma sold bootleg goat’s milk
poppa wore braids and a beard
I grew up in the coyote howls
down the river from here

Done school I hit the highway
strumming out the One, Four, Fives
played every kinda stage in Old Dirt City
from the concert halls to the dives

On a cheap microphone & an old guitar
cheap microphone & an old guitar
I’m a big star at my local bar
with my cheap microphone & an old guitar
oh, I know I’ll never ever go gold
oh, but it helps to soothe my soul

Still like to get out on the highway
couple few times a year
throw the gear and the band
in a rental van
and roll on outta here
never stop dreaming ‘bout the big time
but the small-time suits us fine
we’ll never get rich but it’ll scratch that itch
and it pays for the gas and the beer

Got a cheap microphone & an old guitar
cheap microphone & an old guitar
I’m a big star at my local bar
with my cheap microphone & an old guitar
oh, I know I’ll never ever go gold
oh, but it helps to soothe my soul

Got a cheap microphone & an old guitar
cheap microphone & an old guitar
I’m a big star at my local bar
with my cheap microphone & an old guitar

Cheap microphone & an old guitar
cheap microphone & an old guitar
I’m a big star at my local bar
with my cheap microphone & an old guitar
oh, I know I’ll never ever go gold
oh, but it helps to soothe my soul
