[Verse 1] I've been playing in the corner Of a smoke-filled room at night Pouring out my story In the glow of barroom light Faces come and faces go But they don't remember me Just another song in passing Drowned in their drink [Chorus] No one knows my name Though I've been here for years Giving all my soul away In laughter and in tears I don't need to be a star That's never been my game I just want to be remembered But no one knows my name [Verse 2] I've seen promises and dreamers Burn out before they shine Watch the jukebox steal the moment From the melody that's mine I keep hoping for connection Just a voice to call me out But the silence when I'm finished Is the loudest kind of shout [Chorus] Oh, no one knows my name Though I've been here for years Giving all my soul away In laughter and in tears I don't need to be a star That's never been my game I just want to be remembered But no one knows my name [Bridge] Maybe someday someone listening Will feel the truth inside the line Maybe one song finds its meaning And lingers on beyond my time [Guitar Solo] (Instrumental) [Chorus] No one knows my name But I'll keep playing still For the love that keeps me going For the fire that won't be killed I don't need the flashing lights Or fortune to proclaim I just long for recognition But no one knows my name I just long for recognition But no one knows my name [Outro] (Mmm-mmm) (Thank you)
