Lyrics
I took my song to the County Fair
I said, "I want to be a Star!"
The music man with the coal black hair
Said, "Son, you know, you could go far!
You look real clean and you've got big dreams
And man, you play a mean guitar!
Now all it takes is just one big break
And before you know it, there you are!"
And I said, "Sit down, I've got a song to sing,"
But he said my song would never sell
"But these fans will go for anything
If we package you up real well"
So they changed my style, they changed my looks
The record people changed my name
And before too long they changed my song
And soon I didn't sound the same
And then I stepped on stage like I was all the rage
But people saw right through the game
And as they stood to go you know
I stopped the showwhen I said
"Thank you, folks, I'm glad you came!"
Then I said, "Sit down I got a song to sing
You know, they say this song will never sell
But if I never sing another thing, well,
This story's mine to tell"
So the lights went down
I turned around
Picked up my old guitar
And I song it low
I sang it soft
And ooohh, the music touched their hearts
And as the last notes died
They dried their eyes
And then I heard the cheering start
Now every time I sing my song that way
The people cheer and I've just got to say
You know, the D-Jay called me just the other day
To say I'm Number One on all the charts!
And I've finally learned
No matter what they say
If you're going to play the music
Play it straight
From the heart...
I took my song to the County Fair
I said, "I want to be a Star!"
The music man with the slicked-back hair
Said, "Son, you know, you could go far!"
