Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used a broomstick for a guitar
On my parents' king size bed
I was up in there in the bright lights
Takin' solos and turnin' heads
And I toured the world right there
In the back of Mama's van
I put my headphones on, closed my eyes
And I counted off the band
[PreChorus]
'Cause if it happened for Waylon
Willie and the King
One of these days
Luck's gonna shine a little light on me
[Chorus]
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
Mmm
[Verse 2]
The first time that I fell in love
Was gonna be my last
But I found out the hard way
Some strings don't stay attached
And I've had my heart broken down
But somehow, it still beats
I just pick up all the pieces
And put 'em right back on my sleeve
[PreChorus]
'Cause if it happened for my parents
For Johnny and June
One of these days
Love's gonna shine on me too
[Chorus]
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me (Yeah)
[PostChorus]
Woah, it's gonna shine on me
[Verse 3]
Well, halfway up the mountain's
Always higher than it seems
Some days, it feels impossible
Just chasin' down this dream
[PreChorus]
But if it happened for David
He brought Goliath to his knees
One day, Heaven's light
Is gonna shine on a sinner like me
[Chorus]
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me, yeah
I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
[PostChorus]
Oh, yeah
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know
