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 then

As she brought them to their feet



Chorus:

She was a big star

At The Nana 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 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 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

The 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 your going

Less you got somethin they ain't 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 spot light



She's a big star



She's a big star
