(Verse 1) (Version 1)

(Verse 1) Started out with nothin' but a dream A guitar and a worn out pair of jeans Singin' loud in every smoky bar Reachin' for a shootin' star (Chorus) Now the lights are blazin', crowd's gone wild Hear 'em screamin', every mother, every child This is success, yeah, this is the sound King of the mountain, standin' my ground (Verse 2) Paid my dues in sweat and tears Faced the doubts, defied the fears Every critic, every slammed door Just fueled the fire, made me want more (Chorus) Now the lights are blazin', crowd's gone wild Hear 'em screamin', every mother, every child This is success, yeah, this is the sound King of the mountain, standin' my ground (Bridge) Ain't no lookin' back, no turnin' around Gonna keep on climbin', hear that victory sound It's a long hard road, but I'm here to stay Success is mine, every single day (Chorus) Now the lights are blazin', crowd's gone wild Hear 'em screamin', every mother, every child This is success, yeah, this is the sound King of the mountain, standin' my ground (Outro) Yeah, success! Oh, success! Rock and roll success!
