Dust In My Tip Jar

[Verse 1]

Gonna leave this one-light town tonight

On a late-night train or a midnight flight

I'll take this guitar into a neon bar

And play my songs under a Texas star

[Chorus]

I wanna be a country star Came to Nashville chasing who we are

Gonna leave my mark Singing late into the dark

With nothing but hope in my tip jar

[Verse 2]

Came to Nashville counting stars

Taking jobs in dive bars

Playing my guitar in an empty bar

Nothing but dust in my tip jar

Still believing with this old six-string

Every no just fuels the dream

[Chorus]

I wanna be a country star

Came to Nashville chasing who we are

Gonna leave my mark

Singing late into the dark

With nothing but hope in my tip jar

[Verse 3]

Working dead-end jobs in dive bar

Hoping my star shoots up that far

Close to giving up

Still believing I'll be a star

[Chorus]

I wanna be a country star

Came to Nashville chasing who we are

Gonna leave my mark

Singing late into the dark

With nothing but hope in my tip jar

[Final Chorus]

Yeah, I made it — I'm a country star Left that one-light town so far

Yeah, I finally left my mark

From singing late into the dark From dust in my tip jar
