Big Star

She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there that she'd
be discovered some day
So she belted it, she hit the high notes fearlessly
Oh, she melted them, as she brought them to their feet

Chorus:
She was a Big Star at Banana Joe's bar
Where she sang karaoke every night
She said if you work hard to get where you are
It feels good in the hot spotlight
She was a big star

She made the local cable shows
Where the camera fell in love with her face
After a couple of weekends the groupies were crawling all over the place
She signed autographs, like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt
And in the aftermath, that small time town was hers.

Chorus

She doesn't care anymore that her high school girlfriends cut her down
They only thought she entertains is where they are
and where she is now
Her old neighbors swear they're certain she slept her way to the top
She knows you don't get where you're going unless you've got something
they aint got
So she sings tonight, to 20,000 plus
And the young girls scream out loud ";Man, that could be us";

She's a Big Star
And she eats caviar just before she performs every night
She says if you work hard to get where you are
It feels good in the hot spotlight
She's a Big Star

She's a Big Star
