Lyrics

You’ve been standing on a corner or what seems like much too long
Where you play guitar for people who just walk on
And you’ve been waiting for that moment when some producer hears you play
And says just sign right here son, and you’re on your way
So people get ready for Ernie Flame
He’s gonna make it big and then everyone will know his name
Yeah people get ready for Ernie Flame
He’s gonna play his way to the top of fortune and fame

You caught yourself a bus to Nashville, just to find that street of dreams
With the whiskey and the women and the limousines
But there was no one there to greet you no bright lights or microphones
And now you find yourself on a bus that brings you home

So people get ready for Ernie Flame
He’s gonna make it big and then everyone will know his name
Yeah people get ready for Ernie Flame
He’s gonna play his way to the top of fortune and fame

Now you’re back here on that corner, a guitar and one man band
And you play your songs and make your final stand
Some dreams they don’t come easy and the falls come fast and hard
But you keep thinking that someday you’ll be a star

So people get ready for Ernie Flame
He’s gonna make it big and then everyone will know his name
Yeah people get ready for Ernie Flame
He’s gonna play his way to the top of fortune and fame
So people get ready for Ernie Flame
He’s gonna make it big and then everyone will know his name
Yeah people get ready for Ernie Flame
He’s gonna play his way to the top of fortune and fame
