Without You

Dad sold every record he ever owned
 Floyd and Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones
 A lifetime of music gone just to get me through
 ♪
 Momma always had her a second job
 Gone with the sun until six o'clock
 Whatever it took to get by she was gonna do
 Didn't dawn on me back then but now I see
 ♪
 That without them, I wouldn't be me
 When I'm up here on this stage
 The spotlight's on my face
 But I see you
 Sure it's me behind this mic stand
 And it's me strumming this Gibson
 It's me they love to give the credit to
 ♪
 But me don't mean a thing without you
 ♪
 You make sacrifices every night and day
 Never hear the crowd scream your name
 But there's a smile and a hand to hold when the show is through
 ♪
 I'd give it all up just to keep your love
 But you wouldn't let me 'cause you care too much
 About watching me watch my dreams all come true
 When I'm up here on this stage
 The spotlight's on my face
 But I see you
 Well sure it's me behind this mic stand
 And it's me strumming this Gibson
 It's me they love to give the credit to
 But me don't mean a thing without you
 ♪
 You worked overtime to buy those tickets
 The gas, the beer and the babysitters
 Just to spend one night with your baby at a country show
 Paid twenty damn dollars for a place to park
 Got in line early to grab your spot
 So you deserve every word, every line of your favorite tune
 When I'm up here on this stage
 The spotlight's on my face
 But I see you
 Well sure it's me behind this mic stand
 And it's me strumming this Gibson
 And it's me they love to give the credit to
 I'm just trying to give the credit where credit's due
 Because me don't mean a thing without you
