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