Bilingual
On the night that he left home
He packed up everything he owned
Though his mama stood in the door
He knew it was time to go
Now he's a dog without a bone
But he's stoked he got the 54
To a run down stage at the back of some dirty bar
It's all he knows
But his mama don't think that he's gonna make it too far
And his daddy don't think that he's gonna be a big star
Star, star, yeah
ย
When he runs out to the show
The sound guy was gettin' stoned
He said no one seems to come for rock n' roll anymore
At least not tonight
Now he's welcomed to the stage
Every night it's make or break
When the lights go down in a new part of town
The people know that he don't play around
Yeah, ya, yeah
But his momma don't think that he's gonna make it too far
And his daddy don't think that he's gonna be a big star
And his friends, they don't think that he'll make it out of the bars
Now Charlie, go show the world just who you are
Yeah, ya, ya, yeah
Nah, na, na, nah
Uh, uh, uh, uh
(Yeah, ya, ya, yeah) Charlie knew his momma wouldn't come around
'Cause she never sets foot in this part of town
Charlie feels it comin' when he makes this sound
"Can you hear me now?"
"Can you hear me now?"
No, his mama don't think he's gonna make it too far
And his daddy don't think that he's gonna be a big star
And his friends they don't think that he's gonna make it
And nobody thinks that he's gonna make it
Charlie, go show the world just who you are
