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 someday
 So she belted it
 She hit the high notes fearlessly
 Oh, she melted them
 As 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
 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
 ♪
 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 you're going
 'Less 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 as 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
