Verse
A
It's Saturday night and the bar room is howlin'
E A
With young weekend cowboys, all struttin' and a-prowlin'
F#m
Drinkin' straight bourbon and tryin' not to shiver
E A
As it burns down their throats and plays hell with their liver
E
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'
E Bm A
A-singin' his heart out with nobody listenin'
[Chorus]
D A
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
E A
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
D A
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
E Bm A
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
[Verse 2]
A
Evelyn sits by the stage she's the only one clappin'
E A
With eyes brightly shinin', feet in time a-tappin'
F#m
Face full of love as she watches her man
E A
In his shirt of blue rhinestones she sewed on by hand
E
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
E Bm A
'Cause love is tone deaf as well as stone blind!
[Chorus]
D A
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
E A
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
D A
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
E Bm A
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
[Verse 3]
A
Now the noise in the bar's like a volcano explodin'
E A
But up on the stage young Henry is floatin'
F#m
Eyes closed and driftin' through his favorite dream
E A
He sings of places that he's never seen
E
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
E Bm A
'Cause when he sings his songs, he's already there
[Chorus]
D A
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
E A
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
D A
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
E Bm A
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
[Verse 4]
A
Now Saturday night's turned into Sunday mornin'
E A
The bar room is empty the bar tender's yawnin'
F#m
Home go the cowboys with their jeans and high boots
E A
Come Monday they'll put on their ties and dark suits
E
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
E Bm A
Henry lies wide awake, and dreams of the stars
[Chorus]
D A
Fire in the belly and fire in the soul
E A
Ambition's a fire that's hard to control
D A
Burnin' with bright dreams of money and fame
E Bm A
Young Henry Holloway's lost in the flames
