Kid Quill – The Opener lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm just the opener, no one came to see me
Singing all my songs and nobody know em
I'm just the opener, handing out my CDs
Standing by the table if they want a photo
Yeah, and I'm the first on stage
But they don't know my name
These next few songs will be my 15 of fame
I'm the opener, yeah, just the opener

[Verse 1]
Tour's good, it's going good so far
I don't get a green room, so I changed in my car
Yeah, I got my, my favorite songs on my setlist
But I can't get none of my homies on the guest list
But fuck it they gas me up and call me famous
Girls at the bar probably don't know what my name is
But I ain't even trippin', you know I find it funny
'Cause I brought a bunch of drugs with my merch money

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just the opener, yeah that's what I am
And I just came to sing, maybe make a new fan
I know that you don't care, yeah I know where I stand
But I appreciate the love, would you give me a chance

[Chorus]
Because I'm just the opener, no one came to see me
Singing all my songs and nobody know em
I'm just the opener, handing out my CDs
Standing by the table if they want a photo
Yeah, and I'm the first on stage
But they don't know my name
These next few songs will be my 15 of fame
I'm the opener, yeah, the opener

[Verse 2]
Hell no, I didn't get a soundcheck
Yeah, don't even know what time my set's at
Yeah, but that's all part of the biz
Well, if your asking me, that shit just don't make sense
Sleep at a Red Roof Inn, yeah, they nice
My homies shared a bed, so it's half the price
At least the venue gave me money for food
But what I do, I just skip the meal and bought more booze

[Pre-Chorus]
Because I'm just the opener, yeah that's what I am
She only hit the show 'cause she knows the band
She stand at the back like she isn't a fan
But knows the words, gots the merch
I just don't understand

[Chorus]
Because I'm just the opener, no one came to see me
Singing all my songs that nobody knows
I'm just the opener, handing out my CDs
Standing by the table if they want a photo
Yeah, and I'm the first on stage
But they don't know my name
These next few songs will be my 15 of fame
I'm the opener, yeah, the opener

[Bridge]
Okay, the Beetles used to open shows
Yeah, Elton John used to open shows
Yeah, Lady Gaga used to open shows
Yeah, Kendrick Lamar used to open shows
Uh, even Beyoncé used to open shows
Yeah, ACDC used to open shows
Yeah, so damn right I still open shows

[Outro]
Yeah, but I'm more than the opener
More than my CD
More than these lights, I just want people to see me
I know I ain't made it yet
But I know you won't forget
The first time that you saw me tonight
Yeah, I was the first on stage but they didn't know my name
These last few songs were my 15 of fame
I'm the opener
Yeah, the opener
