This song is about a girl
Who had a dream and followed it
And I know from livin' 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, right?
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, all of them
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 crawlin' 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
ย
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
Everybody
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
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
ย
We love you, thank you, Taylor
