Tin Star

Boy, you don't know me, I'm a nobody
I sing on the strip for a few pennies
I got a busted string and a broken guitar
I've been singin' for tips down at the local bar
Like an old tin star, I'm beat up and rusty
Lost in the shining stars of Nashville, Tennessee
Well I wrote this song for those who are like me
Lost in the shining stars, the shining stars
Where we don't got fame, no name in lights
No billboard hits, and no sold-out nights
We got dues to pay, tryin' to make a way
Some of us wait on luck and well, some just pray
Like an old tin star, I'm beat up and rusty
Lost in the shining stars of Nashville, Tennessee
Well I wrote this song for those who are like me
Lost in the shining stars, the shining stars
Well, if the music wasn't running through the blood in my veins
I might just walk away, oh, I would walk away
But the music keeps on runnin' through the blood in my veins
And it just makes me stay, oh, it makes me stay
Like an old tin star, I'm beat up and rusty
Lost in the shining stars of Nashville, Tennessee
Well I wrote this song for those who are like me
Lost in the shining stars, the shining stars
Of Nashville, Tennessee
For those who are like me
