I used a broomstick for a guitar
On my parents' king-size bed
I was up in there in the bright lights
Taking solos and turning 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
Because if it happened for Waylon
Willie and the King
One of these days
Luck's going to shine a little light on me
It's going to shine on me
Yeah, I know it's going to shine on me
It's going to shine on me
Yeah, I know it's going to shine on me, mmm
The first time that I fell in love
Was going to 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 them right back on my sleeve
Because if it happened for my parents
For Johnny and June
One of these days
Love's going to shine on me, too
It's going to shine on me
Yeah, I know it's going to shine on me
It's going to shine on me
Yeah, I know it's going to shine on me (hey)
Woah, it's going to shine on me
Well, halfway up the mountain's
Always higher than it seems
Some days, it feels impossible
Just chasing down this dream
But if it happened for David
He brought Goliath to his knees
One day, Heaven's light
Is going to shine on a sinner like me
It's going to shine on me
Yeah, I know it's going to shine on me
It's going to shine on me
Yeah, I know it's going to shine on me
It's going to shine on me, yeah
I know it's going to shine on me
It's going to shine on me
Yeah, I know it's going to shine on me (shine on me)
Oh, yeah (yeah, I know, it's going to shine on me)
It's going to shine on me
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know
