Verse
C#
It's Saturday night and the bar room is howlin'
G# C#
With young weekend cowboys, all struttin' and a-prowlin'
A#m
Drinkin' straight bourbon and tryin' not to shiver
G# C#
As it burns down their throats and plays hell with their liver
G#
On a small stage in the bar's furthest corner
C#
Sits Henry Holloway playin' his guitar
F#
Under the spotlight sweat on his face glistenin'
G# D#m C#
A-singin' his heart out with nobody listenin'
[Chorus]
F# C#
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
G# C#
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
F# C#
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
G# D#m C#
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
[Verse 2]
C#
Evelyn sits by the stage she's the only one clappin'
G# C#
With eyes brightly shinin', feet in time a-tappin'
A#m
Face full of love as she watches her man
G# C#
In his shirt of blue rhinestones she sewed on by hand
G#
Sweet red lips movin' as she sings along
C#
Joinin' with Henry on his every song
F#
Although she's heard them about one million times
G# D#m C#
'Cause love is tone deaf as well as stone blind!
[Chorus]
F# C#
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
G# C#
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
F# C#
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
G# D#m C#
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
[Verse 3]
C#
Now the noise in the bar's like a volcano explodin'
G# C#
But up on the stage young Henry is floatin'
A#m
Eyes closed and driftin' through his favorite dream
G# C#
He sings of places that he's never seen
G#
Like Nashville and Memphis, New York and L.A.
C#
You can bet even money he'll get there someday
F#
But if he don't, he might just not care
G# D#m C#
'Cause when he sings his songs, he's already there
[Chorus]
F# C#
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
G# C#
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
F# C#
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
G# D#m C#
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
[Verse 4]
C#
Now Saturday night's turned into Sunday mornin'
G# C#
The bar room is empty the bar tender's yawnin'
A#m
Home go the cowboys with their jeans and high boots
G# C#
Come Monday they'll put on their ties and dark suits
G#
Back to the motel go Henry and Evelyn
C#
She falls asleep with her arms wrapped around him
F#
She dreams of motel rooms and cheap crowded bars
G# D#m C#
Henry lies wide awake, and dreams of the stars
[Chorus]
F# C#
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
G# C#
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
F# C#
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
G# D#m C#
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
