Album: Sister Pride
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon
Didn’t have a dream that came true too soon
Just a kid with a song in my head
And a cheap old guitar book beside my bed
I wanted six strings and an old amp loud
Something that would make me stand out from the crowd
Dad said, “Save your money, then we’ll see”
So I started saving every dime I could keep
[Chorus]
I worked for it
I saved for it
Every dollar, every day
I wanted it
I waited for it
I wouldn’t let it slip away
Maybe I wasn’t born a star
Maybe I wasn’t born that wild
But I knew what I wanted
And I chased it like a child
[Verse 2]
I put my money in a little jar
Every week I saved what I could
Ten dollars here, fifteen there
Just like my daddy said I should
Months went by and I kept saving
Never once gave up the dream
Then one day I had three hundred
And that guitar was on sale cheap
[Chorus]
I worked for it
I saved for it
Every dollar, every day
I wanted it
I waited for it
I wouldn’t let it slip away
Maybe I wasn’t born a star
Maybe I wasn’t born that wild
But I knew what I wanted
And I chased it like a child
[Bridge]
I didn’t know where that guitar would lead
Didn’t know I’d ever play a stage
I just knew when I held it in my hands
Something inside me came awake
[Final Chorus]
I worked for it
I saved for it
And when I finally got my chance
I held that guitar
Like it belonged to me
And I never looked back again
I wasn’t born a legend
I was just a middle-class kid
With a dream in her heart
And a little bit of grit
[Outro]
Sometimes you don’t need everything
Sometimes you just need one thing
Bad enough to work for it.
