Lyrics

VERSE
More than you know, she wants to be a star
Move away to Nashville where the record labels are
She can sing and write, but she needs to understand
There’s a truly big supply and a very low demand

PRE-CHORUS
“Sign here, my dear,” would be music to her ears
Until then, she must persevere

CHORUS
Some say nothing good will come true
Heartache, disappointment; success overdue
Some say “Go on, girl, you can’t lose.
How could any record label not want you?”

VERSE
She took the plunge; now she’s in head first
Running everywhere, succeed or burst
Rarely sleeping, hardly eating, so defeating
“Sorry, ma’am, he’s in a meeting.”

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Now she knows all that glitters may not be gold
Will she still be persevering when she’s growing old?

SOLO/TAG
She’s still persevering, but the dream is turning cold
Now she’s thinking about home and the guy she put on hold
