Lyrics
In dreams I played my songs
to crowds of cheering fans
But I was doin' covers
in small-time country bands
Michelle had in mind
a perfect wedding dress
But with our Nashville move
she gladly did with less
CHORUS:
There's a high you get on stage
performing songs you wrote
From playing with the best
and nailing ev'ry note
But I always keep in mind,
when all is said an' done,
the finest thing in life
is my audience of one
Got paid singin' demos,
delivered pizzas for the Hut
I wrote and rewrote songs,
one finally got cut
Michelle gave me strength
I didn't possess
And when we had a son
I redefined success
REPEAT CHORUS
Eight years went by
before my album was released
I toured to promote it,
our bank account increased
Well, fame's a fickle friend,
that album was my last
But in Michelle I have a
treasure unsurpassed
REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah, the finest thing in life
is my audience of one
