Nobodys and Somebodys

Verse 1

I’ve sat in rooms with polished shoes

And million-dollar grins

They talked in circles, quoted books

But never said how to win

At losin’ something you can’t replace

Or holdin’ back your pride

They shook my hand like kings of men

But never bled inside

Chorus

The nobodys showed me everything

The somebodys showed me doors

One taught me how to stand back up

One just pointed at the floor

Turns out truth don’t wear a title

Or sign autographs for show

I learned more from the broke-down ones

Than the ones who “ought to know”

Post-Chorus

The nobodys don’t talk that loud

But they ain’t wrong that often

Verse 2

Old Joe down at the body shop

Missing half a thumb

Said “Kid, don’t chase what don’t chase you

Or you’ll end up cold and numb”

He never wrote a book in ink

Never made the news

But every scar across his hands

Was a lesson I could use

Chorus

The nobodys showed me everything

The somebodys showed me doors

One taught me how to stand back up

One just pointed at the floor

Turns out truth don’t wear a title

Or sign autographs for show

I learned more from the broke-down ones

Than the ones who “ought to know”

Post-Chorus

The nobodys don’t talk that loud

But they ain’t wrong that often

Bridge (drop instruments slightly)

Fame’s a rented Cadillac

Wisdom’s a rusted Ford

One’ll shine beneath the camera flash

One’ll still get you home, Lord

Final Chorus (slight lift)

The nobodys showed me everything

The somebodys showed me doors

One taught me how to bleed and heal

One just kept the score

Turns out truth don’t wear a title

Or need a microphone

I learned more from the quiet ones

Than the ones up on a throne

Final Post-Chorus (band punches here)

The nobodys don’t talk that loud

But they ain’t wrong that often
