Big Star

She was aware of her insecurities

As she took the stage

But 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

She brought them to their feet

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

And she signed autographs

Like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt

And in the aftermath

That small time town was hers

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

Hey she doesn't care anymore

That her high school girlfriends cut her down

The only thought she entertains is where they aren't

And where she is now

A few old neighbors swear they are certain

She slept her way to the top

She knows you don't get where you're goin'

Unless you got something they ain't got

So she sings tonight

To twenty thousand plus

And the young girls scream out loud

Man that could be us

She's a big star

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
