[Intro Spoken] The other night I ran into this old boy at a bonfire He was playin the hell out of that guitar I asked him Why dont you take your ass to Nashville Hell you as good as any of them brother He said Man I got a family to feed I hear you man but sometimes you gotta chase your dreams [Chorus] Hes a bonfire hero Playing for everyone he knows Every Friday night under that moonlight His legend grows He pours his soul out on those six strings In hopes of catching his dreams Prayin he dont wind up empty Hes a bonfire hero [Verse 1] Hes got a dream but he dont know how to get it Hes got a vision of hearing himself on the station he listens to The problem is he dont know nobody that knows the business So where to turn to turn onto his musical spirit And clearly his talents are better than most Everybody thats had the privilege of attending his show go damn Out by that bonfires glow theres a look on folks faces like they seen a ghost He just another star that hasnt shined Just another lump of coal in a diamond mine And he prays day and night that one day hell take the stage And the lights that shine wont be from the lights of the fire thats blazin His inner drive is ragin energize when playin Oh yeah hes tried quittin but he just cant keep it caged in Aint nothin gonna save him Hes got the venom in him I feel him [Chorus] Hes a bonfire hero Playing for everyone he knows Every Friday night under that moonlight His legend grows He pours his soul out on those six strings In hopes of catching his dreams Prayin he dont wind up empty Hes a bonfire hero [Verse 2] Ten years later somebody owed him some favors So they made a couple calls and had ARs from a label On the way down with the deal then laid it out on the table Two days later he was in Nashville signin them papers The savior had answered the prayers he was prayin So hes slaving away and wont let his chance disappear like them vapors Nah he caught all of it and bottled it And every morning he opens his motivation and swallows it Now hes a star thats about to shine He was just a lump of coal now hes the biggest diamond in the mine In time he would find more success more money more friendliness Then he could ever dream of havin Cause now every state and stage he plays on His fans scream and sing along to all of his songs Thats what I call going from nothin to somethin Thats why hes the [Chorus] Bonfire hero Playing for everyone he knows Every Friday night under that moonlight His legend grows He pours his soul out on those six strings In hopes of catching his dreams Prayin he dont wind up empty Cause hes a bonfire hero
