"Shine On Me" lyrics

"Shine On Me"

I used a broomstick for a guitar
On my parents' king size bed
I was up in there in the bright lights
Takin' solos and turnin' heads
And I toured the world right there
In the back of Mama's van
I put my headphones on, closed my eyes
And I counted off the band

'Cause if it happened for Waylon
Willie and the King
One of these days
Luck's gonna shine a little light on me

It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
Mmm

The first time that I fell in love
Was gonna be my last
But I found out the hard way
Some strings don't stay attached
And I've had my heart broken down
But somehow, it still beats
I just pick up all the pieces
And put 'em right back on my sleeve

'Cause if it happened for my parents
For Johnny and June
One of these days
Love's gonna shine on me too

It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me (Yeah)

Woah, it's gonna shine on me

Well, halfway up the mountain's
Always higher than it seems
Some days, it feels impossible
Just chasin' down this dream

But if it happened for David
He brought Goliath to his knees
One day, Heaven's light
Is gonna shine on a sinner like me

It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me, yeah
I know it's gonna shine on me
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know it's gonna shine on me

Oh, yeah
It's gonna shine on me
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know
