Kenny Chesney - Big Star lyrics

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

And 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
