Didn’t think I had it in me

???? “Didn’t Think I Had It in Me”
Country / Folk – upbeat, mid-tempo

[Verse 1]
Didn’t think I had it in me,
To grab that old mic and sing,
But I met a girl with a smile so wide,
She said, “Come on, you can do this thing.”
Her friends all felt like family,
She called one mama, and it rang true,
The kind of crowd where you feel at home,
Like they’d been waitin’ just for you.
⸻
[Chorus]
Didn’t think I had it in me,
But she gave me a gentle shove,
Up on that stage at karaoke,
I found a little bit of love.
Some sang sweet like the Opry,
Some were out of key like me,
But it didn’t matter, we were laughing together,
And it set my spirit free.
⸻
[Verse 2]
The spotlight felt like daylight,
I stumbled through the tune,
But the crowd just kept on clappin’,
And I was howlin’ at the moon.
There was magic in that moment,
With her blue eyes shinin’ bright,
Didn’t care if I missed the melody,
It still felt like I got it right.
⸻
[Chorus]
Didn’t think I had it in me,
But she gave me a gentle shove,
Up on that stage at karaoke,
I found a little bit of love.
Some sang sweet like the Opry,
Some were out of key like me,
But it didn’t matter, we were laughing together,
And it set my spirit free.
⸻
[Bridge]
Sometimes life takes a stranger’s hand,
And leads you where you’ve never been.
One little song in a smoky bar,
Can be the start of something grand.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Didn’t think I had it in me,
But she proved I had a song,
Now I’m singin’ out loud, proud and easy,
Where I feel I belong.
Doesn’t matter if it’s perfect,
It’s the joy that sets you free,
Didn’t think I had it in me…
But that night she showed me.
