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 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.
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 spot light
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 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
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 spot light
She's a big star.
She's a big star...
