[Verse 1]
Well, this ol' guitar in the spotlight
Girl, if people only knew
Said it's the same guitar I wrote a thousand songs on
Nobody heard but you
Baby, you were singin' it first
'Fore anybody ever noticed
Now everybody knows every single word
Think it's time I wrote this
[Chorus]
And when my fifteen minutes ends
And the world loves me a little less
I hope you know that you're the only one
I was trying to impress
If I sold out Bryant-Denny
Make my sweet home so proud
All I ever cared about, all I evеr cared about
Was your face in the crowd
[Verse 2]
I lovе hearing me singing on that radio
'Cause 'at means we gonna get paid
But a hundred of his songs ain't got nothin' on
Them babies we made
Yeah, this dream come true is a dream come true
It's a crazy ride we're on (It's a crazy ride we're on)
I know as fast as famous came
Fame is gonna be gone
[Chorus]
So when my fifteen minutes ends
And the world loves me a little less (And the world loves me a little less)
I hope you know that you're the only one
I was trying to impress (You're the only one I was trying to impress)
If I sold out Bryant-Denny's
Make my sweet home so proud
All I ever cared about, all I ever cared about
Was your face in the crowd
[Bridge]
Your face in the crowd
Smiling at me
Even though you know the mess
Behind these six strings
[Chorus]
So when my fifteen minutes ends
And the world loves me a little less
I hope you know that you're the only one
I was trying to impress (You're the only one I was trying to impress)
If I sold out Bryant-Denny's
Make my sweet home so proud
All I ever cared about, all I ever cared about
Was your face in the crowd
[Outro]
Said all I ever cared about, all I ever cared about
Was your face in the crowd
