lyrics

just a three bedroom house with only one bathroom
i wanted to strike it rich and give this whole world to you
but life took some turns that we just didn't see
and this is not how it's supposed to be

because i really thought i'd be famous by now
you'd look at me and you'd be so proud
sometimes i feel like i let you down
cause i really thought i'd be famous by now

two young boys with a baby girl on the way
where's my youth that was here just yesterday
it's hard sometimes when reality hits
all those chances that i missed

now the days drag on but the weeks keep flying by
i work all day and the weekends there's not enough time
we barely speak and we rarely kiss
with that ring i didn't promise you this

because i really thought i'd be famous by now
you'd look at me and you'd be so proud
sometimes i feel like i let you down
cause i really thought i'd be famous by now

now i know my chance is slim
but i guess my ship could still come in

because i really thought i'd be famous by now
you'd look at me and you'd be so proud
sometimes i feel like i let you down
cause i really thought i'd be famous by now

about

Jeremy Martin Fort Worth, Texas

These are my versions of how things were, how they are, and how it should be.

These songs were all recorded at different times in different studios so they all have their own unique sound and a life of their own. That’s perfect, that’s the way it should be…. Every song deserves to be fearless on its own platform!!

Cheers -
Thanks for listening!!
Jeremy
