Shooting at the Moon Lyrics by Mariel Buckley

Everywhere I Used to Be

2022

[Verse 1]
I've played in motel bars
Dingy lounges with dirty floors
Queen of the one-star room
Every night it seems
I am living someone else's dream
Can I have one too?
Every night I lay on flowered sheets
And I think of you
[Chorus]
I wanna be the underdog
Up against the wind
Shooting at the moon
Knowing if I bring it down
It'll rise again
[Verse 2]
I've dressed in fancy clothes
Hung out where all the money goes
But the talk, it is cheap
They only tell you
What they think you're gonna wanna hear
I wanna hear the truth
I don't mind getting scraps
The more I took the less I had
I had it all with you
I would trade it all now if I could
For that motel room with a view
[Chorus]
And to be the underdog
Up against the wind
Shooting at the moon
Knowing if I bring it down
It'll rise again
[Bridge]
I hear the echo bouncing off the walls
It sounds a lot like me
All the other voices sound so sweet
But honey they don't know
Who I used to be
[Chorus]
I wanna be the underdog
Up against the wind
Shooting at the moon
Knowing if I bring it down
That it'll rise again
I wanna be the underdog
Up against the wind
Shooting at the moon
Knowing if I bring it down
That it'll rise again
