I was trying so hard to make it on the road There's a travelling van Living out in some cases In motel across the land But all I did was survive With a dream that can't be alive Anything a fortune thing I'm an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making Just an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making They'll never know the road I had to go Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no I had so many disappointments Agents robbed me blind I guess it wouldn't be easier Leaving all those thoughts behind The nights going insane Would stab and hung the pains Playing crummy bars, sleeping in cars I'm an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making Just an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making They'll never know the road I had to go Whoa, whoa, whoa, no I had some friends They all had children at home Then the most of my life I've been alone 'Cause music spends, spends my whole life Spend my soul It's been everything to me The very heart of me But I'm an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making Just an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making They'll never know the road I had to go No, they'll never know the road I had to go 'Cause I'm an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making Just an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making Just an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making Yeah, an overnight sensation It's been 10 years in the making
