Big Star (with Taylor Swift) [Live]

This song is about a girl

Who had a dream and followed it

And I know from living in this town for so many years

That there's a lot of girls out there in the audience tonight

With a lot of dreams in their head

And this song goes out to you, alright?

Here we go

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 put 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

Unless you got something they ain't got

So she sings tonight

To twenty thousand plus

And the young girls scream out loud

For Miss Taylor Swift

Man that could be us

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

Look who showed up

Happy Birthday, Kenny Chesney

I love you, Nashville

Goodnight and thank you, Taylor
