She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there that she'd be discovered someday
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 every night at Joe's bar
Where she sang kareoke every night
She said if you work hard
To get where you are
It feels good in the hot spot light
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 where 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
(|)(Repeat Chorus)(|)
She doesn't care anymore
That her high school girlfriends cut her down
The only thought she entertains is where they are
And where she is now
Her old neighbors swear their certain
She slept her way to the top
But she knows you don't get where you're going
Less you got something they ain't got
So she sings tonight
To 20 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 spot light
She's a big star
She's a big star
