“Down in Alabama in a two red light town My world revolved around the radio  In my little bedroom, the Opry came alive  And in my mind I was on the front row    I counted down the years  till I could drive that old highway To the city where all my dreams could come true  There’s been a lot of hard times  But they were all worth it  As I look back at all the things I’ve got to do    I sang with Loretta  Wrote songs with Whisperin Bill  I even got to play Hanks guitar  Rode the roads with Little Jimmy  Shook hands with Johnny Cash  Funny how a dream can take you far  I’ve poured my heart and soul into it  I’ve Lived Country Music…” Stay in touch with Bobby Tomberlin on his website and social media platforms Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and watch videos on his official YouTube account.
