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