  • this is catchy

  • Great video awsome music nothing like music today that you cant understand

  • I will be somebody some day soon.

  • Travis' songs are from his real life growing up, NOT just some "contry songs" some writer wrote to sound good. His songs have substance, & meaning, people can really connect with that, this is what makes him so special. He is so darn good I overlooked his long hair, which I always thought threw him off, but hey, hes always been true to himself, and again made him REAL! I love the guy, and sing and play his music whereever I can!.

  • @fm1224 your comment on travis hit the nail on the head dude!!!!

  • I spent so much of my life thinking i couldn't make it. Then i herd this song again. Now I'm gonna stand up and say, That someday, I'm gonna be somebody

  • When I am studying to further my career, going to college, and working 60 hours 6 days a week, I feel like I'm doing nothing. But, I'm gonna be somebody, someday. I think of this when I feel down, dead, beat, and tired. Makes me think all this hard work will pay off.

  • This guy could sing the panties off of any woman!

  • people like travis tritt set the standard for what country music should be. i saw him in an acoustic performance in columbus georgia last week and it was one of the best shows ive been too. to hell with this mainstream shit you hear on the radio, even i can get in a studio and sound like a professional with editing equipment

  • "Go home and turn on CMT, but I dont know what for"

  • the hell is a country singer doing in leather!?!

  • God his voice is so rock n roll but still country. I love it!!! This guy has one of the greatest country voices of all time. It haunts your memory and it's hard to forget! <3

  • probably my favourite pick up track - works everytime

  • @TheMightyt1981 I agree.... that chours(sp?) Is awesome!

  • Amen to this song!

  • What kind of acoustic guitar is Travis playing? I've been searching all over the internet and I can't find out what this is exactly.

  • @Quakelord1991 Gibson Chet Atkins SST

  • i sure wish he would come back...

  • Travis Tritt is somebody and he should be recognized more often for his great voice and should be on American Idol with his music coming up this month in January 2011. Everybody will watch guaranteed. Love him...

  • @PuppyLove7512

    "ps...did someone say TT was a Hack!?"

    No, I meant I'M a hack musician... good enough to play out locally but not to make a career of it... and the song always makes me think "what if" I were a little bit better and could make it a life instead of a hobby *lol*.

  • For those a few month ago that think this is a cover, it sorta is, but isn't. Bad Company wrote the "same" song 20 years earlier. It's called "Shooting Star". The arrangement and progression is identical. The lyrics tell a slightly different... yet very similar story. Awesome change-up by TT, as a hack musician it never fails to make me think "what if".

  • @DLYoung70 Thanks for pointing that out. I really thought I was the only one who knew "Shooting Star" and "I'm Gonna be Somebody" are the same song.

    And Travis and Paul Rodgers have the same Awesome Vocal Talent.

    Two of the best in the Music!

    ps....did someone say TT is a Hack?!

  • @DLYoung70 Thanks for pointing out that "Shooting Star" and "I'm Gonna be Somebody" are basically the same song. For years I thought I was the only one who knew that..lol

    It only makes sense because Travis and Paul Rodgers possess the same Awesome Vocal Talent.

    Two of the Best in Music!

    ps...did someone say TT was a Hack!?

  • im 19 years old and think every day "thank you dad for taking me to a Travis Tritt concert" i love his music.

  • One of these days, im going to be somebody....

  • FUCKING LEGEND

  • 11 people that don't know what real music is.

  • its seems like nashville dont want real country anymore you can tell by wat they let go on...on the cmas and cmt and gac this is wat countryn music is...but i hear all the new artist talk about who inspired them well you sure cant tell it in their music!!!

  • no one believed in me, NOT MY WIFE, KIDS, OR FAMILY, now im on the deans list with 6 A'S, if you believe in yourself anything is possible, no matter what any one says

  • @tomwhitman143 Congrats man thats a hell of an accomplishment.

  • @tomwhitman143 hell yeah man!

  • no one believed in me, NOT MY WIFE, KIDS, OR FAMILY, now im on the deans list with 6 A'S, if you believe in yourself anything is possible, no matter what any one says

  • I just saw Travis perform in Michigan City, IN and when he sang this song it almost brought a tear to my eye. this and many of his songs are what real country music is all about. Travis is among the top artist ever in my book and I hope he keeps going and going.

  • Travis Tritt fucking rocks!

  • @sdnm86 fucking right

  • most country music now a days is just a joke Travis tritt is one of the best country artists ever

  • @Roxinius i'm only 15 and i couldn't agree more.

  • @Roxinius Not only is it a joke today but it's not country....it's pop music with a cowboy hat n boots to act country. They mention a tractor or farm in one line to act like they're keeping it real but it's still crap. Wish we had more actual country out there....

  • @miller434 HELL YEAGH!!!YOUR COMMENT HIT IT  DEAD ON!!

  • @Roxinius AMEN!!!! i agree 100%

  • why dont they make music like this song anymore?????

  • @1808AMBER20 - Cause all new Country singer's, dont know real Country Music!...Country took a 90degree almost wrong way, nothin like Old George,Garth n so on..

  • @1808AMBER20 because its all about whats in...haha....it would be to hard for them to make some real music

  • @1808AMBER20

    because it sucks fat dick? dumb question bro

  • @Jonny19112  No it dont, You just dont know real music......

  • @1808AMBER20 Because people don't use musical instruments anymore. SAD. Travis Tritt blows those kids out of the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @1808AMBER20 all i can say is amen to what u said this has always been my song

  • @chris20399 Your Welcome

  • @1808AMBER20 nobody sings country like the old country singers personally George straight is my favorite

  • @1808AMBER20 agree!! good song live

  • @1808AMBER20 agree!!! good song

  • @Spence12953 Thanks Spence.Appriecate it.

  • A great song from a fantastic artist.

  • It's unfortunate they don't make music like this anymore. What do we have nowadays? Justing Bieber and Sean Kingston? Let's get back to real music.

  • 11 folks are jobless and are living off of me.

  • songs like this makes me want to sing so bad im'm working on it.

  • 11 people like justin beaver sigh i miss 90's country it was a lot more soulful than todays country

  • best country star of our time.

  • I love this song it really makes you think life ... this song makes me cry every time i hear it. this is so me

  • this is me

  • This isn't the song I was looking for but I'm glad I came across it, really cool

  • pooply awsome

  • Who the hell dislikes this?

  • Great Song TT !!!!

  • could everybody stop hating on travis tritt? yes, he's the shit. if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. does it make you all feel cool to rag on a guy making more than you ever will for an amazing talent?

  • best country artist alive

    

  • I LOVE IT ...... This Song Will Never Go Out Of Style.

  • he has my hat =]

  • this song helped through my darkest years. Thank you for making this song. i love it.

  • I'm gonna be somebody someday thanks Mr.Travis Tritt for doing this song!!!!

  • BEST Travis Tritt's SONG!!!

  • CHEAP Lyrics,,,,, I'm going be somebody --- you already are somebody number 1 but why do have to be somebody in this world, why don't you listen to yourself and stop playing a fake you that Madison ave makes you play.

  • @PhilosopherKG wanna talk about CHEAP, this is the kind of cheap drive by post that losers make. His success bother you? He is real. And a nice man. I have seen A LOT of live concerts. Roy O, Elvis, Beatles, Paul, Chet, Johnny, a lot more, including several NOW HOT country artists. Lovett this summer. Best show I ever saw was Tritt at a county fair in Ohio. 6,800 roared at the end ONE HOUR. Late, he came back, hair wet in sweats. YOU PPL ARE CRAZY!!! Another hour HOT southern rock.

  • @charles43110 Hey I have no disrespect for his success & thats great you've gone to all those concerts. I just don't see any real creative writing that he makes says great lyrics & music like most contemporary country. I mean the bands you brought up I clearly wouldn't put him next to them and if your talking about Johnny Cash, he had real lyrical talent. This song just lacks but I'm glad you enjoy it.

  • @charles43110 are you a dancer? Or a singer? Though I am classicly trained, I love dancing to Travis Tritt. His instrumental music is FAR beyond Cash. I love Cash. I have a Cash tour shirt. He tried to buy one of my originals once in 1996. Live in concert he stuns an audiance. If you dont like him WHY ARE YOU HERE? To convince us your superior?

  • LOVE IT IM FROM CHATTANOOGA, TN

  • how come every country song has the same 4 chords in there progressions....and I would also like to know why every singer never used intense vibrato or could go from a high E to a G fade away without there voice falling out..they do the closed nose sinus sounding only halfway singing, just like they only halfway play guitar, thats why country music is halfway shit..its so boring

    listen to some guitarist and musicians who strive for the impossible

    satchriani, gilbert, vai, timmons, Z wylde.

  • @carterwatrous manual dexterity. big deal, none of them move me at all. give me CLAPTON, Sir Paul, Tritt, communicators, who make ppl want to cry. My list is long. Roy O, Lovett, Buble, but anyone who is a "guitar wanker" trying to do impossible speed crap, SOOOOO WHAT? And drive by creeps like you need to get a life. Must be a boring life if u to need to pee on other ppl. another SOOOOO what kinda loser. Go some where else and drool.

  • @carterwatrous OH, by the way, carterwanker, if your going to dump on others and push another artist, at least spell SATRIANI's name correctly, your really impressive you mental midget

  • @carterwatrous I read your stuff again. You can barely write the English language. What makes you think your drivel is worth reading? Your wasting a lot of good useful air when you breathe.

  • fuck @ keepontruckin1 dude he is man theres no question about it !

  • I´m glad that I saw this amazing man about 15 ago in Germany , I was drivig fomHamburg to Stuttgart it´s about a lot of hours to drive..haha drove back at night just to be play Handball against some famous Handball Stars. That´s what I call sobebody...hahaha...go for your passion...dont waste your life with something you hate.....even id hate is the wrong word.....

  • True TRITT fans!

    haha heres a quarter call someone who cares, cause i dont love you anymore even though i had the best of intentions.Cause i'm gonna be somebody someday.And i don't need the love of a woman. LORD its a great daay to be alive. Meet me down at the country club there's gonna be some T-R-O-U-B-L-E..
