Open Mic Night Lyrics - May 31, 2023

“I’m Gonna be Somebody” - By Travis Tritt

Bobby played his guitar on the harder side of town
Where it's hard for a poor boy to find the money
He had dedication, he had the heart and soul
Somehow he knew he was born to play

People said, "Get a real job, support your family
'Cause there's no future in the road you're takin'"
He never said a word, the dreamer just kept on
Late at night you could hear him say
He said

I'm gonna be somebody
One of these days I'm gonna break these chains
I'm gonna be somebody someday
You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will

The road was a struggle, took him ten years to the top
And now he's number one on the stage and the radio
Still, he can't believe how people come from miles around
When it seems like only yesterday he would say

I'm gonna be somebody
One of these days I'm gonna break these chains
I'm gonna be somebody someday
You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will
Hey-yeah-yeah

Bobby played his hometown, one full moon August night
When he heard a voice in the front row singin'
It was a sandy-haired rebel boy with same ole hungry eyes
He looked up at Bobby and said

I'm gonna be somebody
One of these days I'm gonna break these chains
And I'm gonna be somebody someday
You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will

You know I will, yeah-yeah

I'm gonna be somebody
One of these days I'm gonna break these chains
I'm gonna be somebody someday
You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will

Oh, yeah
You can bet your hard-earned dollar
I will

“Fills My World” - By Daniel Trush and Gerry Powers

We all need help every now and then

So when I need it, well, I just ask

And a helping hand reaches out right then

To carry out the task

You’re always with me as I get ready

And I’m grateful for all your care

If I ever become unsteady

It’s a comfort to know you are there

Some things are still a challenge

But I don’t let them bother me

Then my life is more in balance

And has much more to offer me

You’ve got a plan for my success

And you know the way to lead

You always listen to my requests

And you tend to all my needs

It would take me all day to describe

How much you’ve done for me

Knowing I have you in my life

Fills my world with possibility

When I think I can’t continue

You give me strength to persevere

And that’s the moment when I begin to

Be freed from all my fear

You know what I need before I do

You are my perfect guide

There is nothing that I can’t get through

With you by my side

It would take me all day to describe

How much you’ve done for me

Knowing I have you in my life

Fills my world with possibility

For everything you do

I could never thank you enough

A heart so pure, gentle and true

Could only be made of love

It would take me all day to describe

How much you’ve done for me

Knowing I have you in my life

Fills my world with possibility

Circles, by Post Malone

We couldn't turn around
'Til we were upside down
I'll be the bad guy now
But, no, I ain't too proud

I couldn't be there
Even when I tried
You don't believe it
We do this every time

Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let it go
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away

I dare you to do something
I'm waiting on you again
So I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away, run away

Let go
I got a feeling that it's time to let go

I say so
I knew that this was doomed from the get-go

You thought that it was special, special
But it was just the sex though, the sex though
And I still hear the echoes (the echoes)
I got a feeling that it's time to let it go, let it go

Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let it go
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away

I dare you to do something
I'm waiting on you again
So I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away, run away

Maybe you don't understand what I'm going through
It's only me
What you got to lose?
Make up your mind, tell me
What are you gonna do?
It's only me
Let it go

Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let it go
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away

I dare you to do something
I'm waiting on you again
So I don't take the blame
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away, run away

“Bet on It”, from High School Musical

[Verse 1: Troy]
Everybody's always talkin' at me
Everybody's tryin' to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talkin'
I need to count on myself instead

[Pre-Chorus: Troy]
(Did you ever) Lose yourself to get what you want?
(Did you ever) Get on a ride, then wanna get off?
(Did you ever) Push away the ones you should've held close?
Did you ever let go? Did you ever not know?

[Chorus: Troy]
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
Will I find what I lost? You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it

[Verse 2: Troy]
How will I know if there's a path worth takin'?
Should I question every move I make?
With all I've lost, my heart is breakin'
I don't wanna make the same mistakes

[Pre-Chorus: Troy]
(Did you ever) Doubt your dream will ever come true?
(Did you ever) Blame the world, but never blame you?
(I will never) Try to live a lie again
I don't wanna win this game if I can't play it my way

[Chorus: Troy]
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am (Who I am)
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan (That's my plan)
Will I find what I lost? You know you can (You know you can)
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it

[Bridge: Troy]
Oh, hold up
Gimme room to think, bring it on down
Gotta work on my swing, gotta do my own thing
Oh, hold up
It's no good at all to see yourself
And not recognize your face
Out on my own, it's such a scary place, ooh
The answers are all inside of me
All I gotta do is believe

[Chorus: Troy]
I'm not gonna stop
Not gonna stop 'til I get my shot
That's who I am, that is my plan
Will I end up on top? You can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on—, you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (Bet on me)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it (You can bet on me)

“Soul Sister”, by Train

Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind

Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I had decided who's one of my kind

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection we can't deny

I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out of my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin you're madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangsta, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally
In fact, there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see
You'll be with me

Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Tonight

“Skater Planet”, from Kimberly Akimbo, the Musical

SETH: (spoken)
Attention Skaters,
please clear the rink while the ice is resurfaced
Thank you for your patience

ENSEMBLE:
It's Saturday night at Skater Planet
The Zamboni's on the ice
So we hang around here waiting
All the action's at the mall
But we'd rather be here skating

SETH:
The action's at the mall

ENSEMBLE:
But we'd rather be here skating
Ah-ah
In New Jersey
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh

It's Saturday night in Bergan Country
There are parties everywhere
But we never get invited

And I'm with the one I love

I'm with the one I love

I'm with the one I love

I'm with the one I love

ENSEMBLE
But my love goes unrequited
I'm with the one I love
But my love goes unrequited
Ahh ahh ahh
Nothing's right
Nothing is what it should be

SETH:
Shoes are stinky
Pay's not great
Skating's free but
I can't skate
Cause my ankles tend to roll
In New Jersey

ENSEMBLE:
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh

KIM:
It's Saturday night in Butt crack township
On a road without a sign
In a town where there's not much in
Forty minutes east of hope
Forty miles from mituchin

ENSEMBLE:
I'm with the one I love

KIM:
It's Saturday night and I'm the new girl
So I get to start from scratch
Next to (?) this is dreamy
Sure tonight I'm getting looks
But tomorrow they might see me

ENSEMBLE:
I'm always getting looks

ALL:
They never really see me

In New Jersey

In New Jersey

In New Jersey

ENSEMBLE:
Nothing's right
Nothing is what it should be

I'm too awkward

I'm too bright

I'm too anxious

I'm too polite

ENSEMBLE:
We're too chipper, we're too loud
We don't blend into a crowd
We're too weird in every way

SETH:
I think Springsteen's just okay

ENSEMBLE:
Which is not a thing to think in New Jersey
At least we have the rink in New Jersey
Ah-ah
Uh-oh uh-oh uh-o-o-oh uh-o-oh
Uh-oh

“Octopus’ Garden”, by The Beatles

I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
In the shade

He'd let us in
Knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden
In the shade

I'd ask my friends
To come and see
An octopus' garden
With me

I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
In the shade

We would be warm
Below the storm
In our little hideaway
Beneath the waves

Resting our head
On the seabed
In an octopus' garden
Near a cave

We would sing
And dance around
Because we know
We can't be found

I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
In the shade

We would shout
And swim about
The coral that lies
Beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)

Oh what joy
For every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy
And they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy
You and me
No one there to tell us
What to do

I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
With you

In an octopus' garden
With you
In an octopus' garden
With you

“Under the Sea”, from The Little Mermaid

Ariel, listen to me
The human world, it's a mess
Life under the sea
Is better than anything they got up there

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate?

Oh, no, under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea (under the sea)
Under the sea (under the sea)

Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally (naturally)
Even the sturgeon and the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
And oh that blowfish blow

Yeah, under the sea (under the sea)
Under the sea (under the sea)
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me (it's music to me)
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
Know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea

“Paralyzed”, by Big Time Rush

[Verse 1: Logan, with Kendall]
You, you walked into the room
On a Friday afternoon
That's when I saw you for the first time
And I was paralyzed
I had a million things to say
But none of them came out that day
'Cause I was never one of those guys
That always had the best lies

[Pre-Chorus: James]
Time stopped tickin'
My hands keep shaking
And you don't even know that

[Chorus: Kendall & Carlos]
I try to speak, but girl you got me tongue-tied
I try to breathe but I'm f-f-f-frozen inside
I try to move but I'm stuck in my shoes
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
I see you walking, but all you do is pass me by
Can't even talk, cause words don't come into my mind
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed

[Verse 2: Logan, with Kendall]
Now I learned a lot from my mistake
Never let a good thing slip away
I've had a lot of time to look back
And my only regret is

[Pre-Chorus: James]
Not telling you what I was going through
You didn't even know that

[Chorus: Kendall & Carlos]
I try to speak, but girl you got me tongue-tied
I try to breathe but I'm f-f-f-frozen inside
I try to move but I'm stuck in my shoes
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed
I see you walking, but all you do is pass me by
Can't even talk, cause words don't come into my mind
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed

[Bridge: James]
As the years go by I think about you all the time (whoa-oh)
If I get the chance I hope I won't be paralyzed, paralyzed by you

[Pre-Chorus: Logan]
You walked into the room
On a Friday afternoon

[Chorus: Kendall, Carlos, & Logan]
I try to speak, but girl you got me tongue-tied
I try to breathe but I'm f-f-f-frozen inside
I try to move but I'm stuck in my shoes
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed (you got me paralyzed)
I see you walking, but all you do is pass me by
Can't even talk, cause words don't come into my mind
I'd make a move if I had the guts to
But I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed (you got me paralyzed)

[Outro: Logan, Kendall & Carlos]
Paralyzed, paralyzed (you got me tongue-tied)
Paralyzed, paralyzed (now I'm frozen inside)
Paralyzed, paralyzed
You got me paralyzed, paralyzed, p-p-p-paralyzed

“Never Enough”, from The Greatest Showman

I'm trying to hold my breath
Let it stay this way
Can't let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
'Cause darling, without you

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough

For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me

For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me
For me
For me

For me
