It's easy to get discouraged when you go up against the best (in music or anything else)--but despite the odds, some actually do succeed!!!
Story behind the song
I think of all the bands and artists struggling to get somewhere against incredible odds--and it's so hard when you have to go up against the best in the business--but then, someone comes along who makes it big...
Lyrics
Up Against The Best
They’re pouring into Nashville
They’re all over L.A.
They’re looking for a gig, another place to play
They come with high hopes
They head back home in distress
And they find out what it’s like
To go up against the best
They were popular there in their little home town
They were known thereabouts as the best band around
So they went to New York
To put their songs to the test
But they felt really small
When they went up against the best
All those weekends playing in bars
Dreams of someday being superstars
Then someone comes along
Who sings his songs from the heart
His debut single climbs to the top of the charts
He’s that one in a million destined for success
And he comes out on top
Even up against the best
All those weekends playing in bars
Dreams of someday being superstars
And someone comes along
Who sings his songs from the heart
His debut single climbs to the top of the charts
He’s that one in a million destined for success
And he comes out on top
Even up against the best
