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