Lyrics[]
Right now, I’m up here
Livin’ out my wildest dreams
And today, they will see
Here is where I’m supposed to be
Playin’ hard with the band
As loud as I think I can
They couldn’t take away my dream
‘Cause it belongs to me
And now they won’t judge a book by its cover
‘Cause I got what it takes, ya’ll!
If you’re listenin’ clear, you know I play like no other
Spoken: Y'all ready for what I’m about to show you?
Ladies and gentlemen, listen here!
Yeah, today I’m gonna play with the band
Yeah, and I’mma give it all that I can
Spoken: Y'all watch careful, now
The curtain opens up and you’ll shout real loud
Y'all keep cheerin’ me on
‘Cause now I’m playin’ your favorite song
Spoken: Oh, I just wanna play— play my trumpet real loud!
Here, y'all, that’s what makes me happy! I just wanna see you
dance! Dance, y'all!
And now you won’t judge a book by its cover
If you’re listenin’ clear, you hear I play like no other
You better believe it!
Bring her home!
Yeah, today I’m gonna play with the band
Yeah, and I’mma give it all that I can
Yeah, today I’m gonna play with the band
Yeah, and I’mma give it all that I can
Spoken: Yeah, y'all! Oh, sugar!
