    Story Behind the Song
    2001 recording at Chicken Shack. Ken Coomer on drums and Brad Jones on bass.

    Lyrics
    Well, I grew up in a little town
    Out in the west where the sun goes down
    The people there weren't free, ya know
    They were chained to their lives by that damned old coal

    I was a lonely boy but I can't complain
    Cause god gave me family and he taught me to sing
    The tenor part on a wooden pew
    With my clip-on tie and my new Sunday shoe

    Over there, over there
    I bet that twenty more people wanna hear my song
    Over there, over there
    I bet that twenty more people wanna hear my song

    As I grew up, I couldn't turn away
    From the things in my heart that I had to say
    About the common who don't complain
    About a sixty hour week in the driving rain

    I got a singing job in a local bar
    But I knew that gig wouldn't get me far
    So I moved away feeling mighty strong
    Cause twenty more people wanna hear my song

    Over there, over there
    I bet that twenty more people wanna hear my song
    Over there, over there
    I bet that twenty more people wanna hear my song

    Well, now I ride all day and sleep all night
    If I'm down before the dawn, it just don't seem right
    People wake up cold cause I got to go
    Cause twenty more people at another damn show

    Over there, over there
    I bet that twenty more people wanna hear my song
    Over there, over there
    I bet that twenty more people wanna hear my song
