Burn The Ballroom – 10 to 1

Burn The Ballroom – 10 to 1 Lyrics

Artist: Burn The Ballroom
Song: 10 to 1

But he pushes the question
Says he wants to invest
In a singer that
I just laugh it all off

“Hey, put a tip in my jar”
And he says, “Yeah, but honestly
You could go far”
So tell me, then, how come

You ain’t the one son
That I’ve seen rise up the charts?
So I put down my stuff
And take a slow breath

Hey, listen fella
Don’t know what to tell ya
Except…
Chorus

There’ve been ten f#cking #ssh#l#s
Who told me they’d make me a star
Nine rat b#stards
That’ve mugged me outside of this bar

Eight more lines
To tell you this good life gets hard
There was seven soaked summers
When I couldn’t get off the floor

Six deep heartaches
That just left me askin’ for more
Five times this week
That I’ve heard that question before

There were four homeless seasons
I only knew passion of pain
Then three years
I mixed up those two for the same

Those two concerts
Where I nearly died on the stage
But to answer your question
Or you don’t know my name

The very first reason
To let my refrain
Is I thought that someone would
Find me and take me away

I thought that I’d get discovered
But It’s me
It’s me who will make my own name
Well that sounds messed up

This life that you choose
Said, “I just think of Freddie”
He said, “I never lose”
Well I’m gonna get there

Even if broken and bruised
‘Cause I might be late
And it may get hard
But it’s not rotten

To see how I’ve gotten this far
In spite of those
There’ve been ten f#cking #ssh#l#s
Who told me they’d make me a star

Nine rat b#stards
That’ve mugged me outside of this bar
Eight more lines
To tell you this good life gets hard

There was seven soaked summers
When I couldn’t get off the floor
Six deep heartaches
That just left me askin’ for more

Five times this week
That I’ve heard that question before
There were four homeless seasons
I only knew passion of pain

Then three years
I mixed up those two for the same
Those two concerts
Where I nearly died on the stage

But to answer your question
Or you don’t know my name
The very first reason
To let my refrain

Is I thought that someone would
Find me and take me away
I thought that I’d get discovered
But It’s me

It’s me who will make my own name
