Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't waste your life behind that guitar

You may get gone, but you won't get far

You're not the first, you won't be the last

And you can tell us all about it when you come crawlin' back

That road you're on just winds and winds

Your spinning your wheels and wasting you're time

[Chorus]

But when the lights come up

And I hear the band

And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am

I hear the crowd

I look around

And I can't find an empty chair

Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere

[Verse 2]

I get these calls out on the road

Heard your song on my radio

We always said you'd make it big

And I tell all my friends I knew you back when

So don't forget all us little folks

And when you crash and burn

Remember we told you so

[Chorus]

And then the lights come up

And I hear the band

And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am

I hear the crowd

I look around

And I can't find one empty chair

Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere

[Outro]

I need to thank my daddy

For that first set of strings

And all those folks who swore I'd never be anything

It took a whole lot of "Yes, I wills" and "I don't care"

A whole lot of basement dives and county fairs

To this show right now, and y'all sure look good out there

Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere

Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
