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