I had big dreams when I was a kid,had some real big ideas,kept 'em under my lid,
(A) (E)
I had it all planned out as to what I would do,it was going real good that's when I met you
(B7) (E)
Yeah I told 'em I could make it,gonna do my best,cause I'm startin' with nothin',I still got some left
(E)
I put a lemonade stand down at 4th & Main,I was gonna make some money that's the name of the game
(A) (E)
Well the money rolled in,my ol' bank account grew,little did I know that I would soon be through
(B7) (E)
Yeah I told 'em I would make it and I ain't done yet,cause I started with nothin,I still got some left
CHORUS
(A) (E)
Yeah I made a lotta money,I was doin real good,but you took care of that,you spent all that you could
(A) (B7)
I work real hard just tryin to get ahead,but when I look at my books all I see is red,
(A) (E)
I told 'em I would make it,but I'm losin that bet,cause I started with nothin,I still got some left
(E)
Well I'm a little older now,yeah I finally wised up,so I changed my plan tryin to change my luck
(A) (E)
so I hid that ol' checkbook and all those credit cards,I really didn't think that she'd take it so hard
(B7) (E)
She hit the door a runnin,now I'm livin by myself,yeah I started with nothin,I still got some left
