WHERE THEY SAY YOU CAN BE A STAR
by Tim R. Holifield


HERE WE GO WITH ANOTHER LITTLE DITTY
ABOUT A HOMETOWN GIRL
WHO MOVED OFF TO THE CITY

SHE WAS JUST EIGHTEEN WHEN SHE MOVED AWAY
SHE SAID SHE WAS GONNA MAKE IT BIG SOMEDAY
WITH ALL OF HER HOPES AND DREAMS IN A BOX
ALONG WITH HER JEANS AND HER FAVORITE PAIR OF SOCKS

EVERY SINGLE DAY SHE HIT THE STREETS
COMING HOME WITH BLISTERS ON HER FEET
FINALLY, SHE LANDED A GIG AT A BAR
WHERE THEY SAY YOU CAN BE A STAR

EVERY SINGLE NIGHT SHE SINGS HER HEART OUT
WHERE THEY SAY YOU CAN BE A STAR
WONDERIN’ IF THIS’S WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
WHEN SHE WOULD GET HOME FROM THE BAR
EVERY NIGHT SHE WOULD PACK THE PLACE
ENDING EVERY NIGHT WITH AMAZIN’ GRACE
WHERE THEY SAY YOU CAN BE A STAR

IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR HER NAME TO GET AROUND
A LITTLE “NOBODY” FROM A SMALL HOMETOWN
AS TIME WENT ON SHE WROTE A SONG
A LITTLE DITTY ABOUT LIFE IN THE CITY

EVERY NIGHT SHE SINGS ON A STAGE
FULL OF LIGHTS IN NASHVILLE
WHERE THEY SAY YOU CAN BE A STAR
NOW SHE KNOWS HOW IT FEELS
TO LIVE LIKE A STAR WITH A RECORD DEAL

EVERY SINGLE NIGHT SHE SINGS HER HEART OUT
WHERE THEY SAY YOU CAN BE A STAR
WONDERED IF THIS’S WHATS ITS ALL ABOUT
WHEN SHE WOULD GET HOME FROM THE BAR
NOW EVERY NIGHT SHE PACKS THE PLACE
ENDING WITH HER SONG AND AMAZIN’ GRACE
WHERE THEY SAY YOU CAN BE A STAR
HERE WE GO WITH ANOTHER LITTLE DITTY
ABOUT A HOMETOWN GIRL
WHO MOVED OFF TO THE CITY

SHE WAS JUST EIGHTEEN WHEN SHE MOVED AWAY
SHE SAID SHE WAS GONNA MAKE IT BIG SOMEDAY
WITH ALL OF HER HOPES AND DREAMS IN A BOX
ALONG WITH HER JEANS AND HER FAVORITE PAIR OF SOCKS

EVERY NIGHT SHE SINGS ON A STAGE
FULL OF LIGHTS IN NASHVILLE
NOW SHE KNOWS HOW IT FEELS
TO LIVE LIKE A STAR WITH A RECORD DEAL
WHERE THEY SAY YOU CAN BE A STAR
