D                                D7 
I used to lie in bed at night, I tossed and turned to think 
      G                                Gm 
About singin? on that big stage, I was just on the brink 
            D                     A 
Of fame and fortune, drivin? me a fancy car 
              D                                   D7 
But I'm still drivin? that old pick up, I'm still singin? in them bars 
        G                       Gm           
I don?t have a million dollars, just this old guitar 
        D                                         A 
and the songs I sing But I pour my heart out in a melody 

         G                   A              D 
It don?t break my heart that I'm not on the Opry 
   G             A                  D 
As long as I can touch folks when I sing 
G              A       Bm              E7        
Dalhart to Del Rio and all points in between 
        G             A            D 
It?s as big a star as I ever wanna be 
 
 
Well it?s two in the morning and everybody?s gone 
I count the money from that tip jar, it?s just enough to get me home 
And fill my coffee cup, oh lord this is the life I love 
 
Chorus 
 
Dalhart to Del Rio 
And all points in between 
It?s as big a star 
As I ever wanna be
