I never claimed to be great, and I never said I was famous like Garth Brooks or anyone. But I have been known to write a tune or two.
"I NEVER SAID I WAS GARTH BROOKS" Mark Gottschall, November 2024
I never play at no night clubs. I never play at no restaurants.
I don’t play the arenas. I only plays where I wants.
So if you think I ain’t perfect and that it’s talent I lack,
Just remember my message, and try to cut me some slack.
Chorus:
I never said I was Garth Brooks. I never said I was Taylor Swift.
I never claimed to be Elvis. I’m only playing to get my kicks.
You know, I’ve never been famous. And I ain’t ever been filthy rich.
But I don’t need to be Garth Brooks for me to have a hit.
My mama’s Steinway piano sits against the great room wall.
Daddy’s Hollywood photos are hanging up in the hall.
I never lacked for nothin’. They told me just to have fun.
I spent my whole life playin’, my best for ev’ry one.
Now I’ve got music on YouTube. I’ve got numbers on Spotify.
When you click on my iTunes, I’ve got ones you can buy!
But if you’re looking for Garth Brooks, who am I to compare?
He’s the one with the Grammys.... I’m the one with the hair!
Chorus:
I never said I was Garth Brooks. I never said I was Taylor Swift.
I never claimed to be Elvis. I’m only playing to get my kicks.
You know, I’ve never been famous. And I ain’t ever been filthy rich.
But I don’t need to be Garth Brooks for me to have a hit.
I don’t need to be Garth Brooks for me to have a hit.
No, I don’t need to be Garth Brooks to have a real big hit.
