Lyrics
At a tender young age
He climbs up on a stage
Nervously plays with his hair
He'd waited in line since a quarter to nine
For his big chance to make it somewhere
But all of the others have sounded so good
He's just a rookie up there
Chorus
Another star fell from the sky tonight
Burned itself out on the floor
It aint gonna shine anymore
No more
It aint gonna shine anymore
She comes off of the street
And she's out on her feet
Dreaming of home on the farm
After all those auditions
Her mental condition
Needed a shot in the arm
At home they all said she would make it one day
But maybe she'd run out of charm
Chorus
Bridge
Fresh out of hope
Someone throw me a rope
It's hard to keep climbing for long
My heart's on my sleeve
Won't you let me believe
I had what it takes all along
Chorus
