I met a girl in Tennessee she wrote a song, it went to number one |
|
Well we sat and had a drink, and she told me how it all had begun |
|
One day she's singing in a coffee shop, shot up to the CMA's |
|
Oh the world moves fast when you never know the time of day |
|
When your face is pictured on the pages |
|
When your name is out there on the scene |
|
When your world is quickly rearranging |
|
When your pictures are appearing on the pages of the magazines |
|
She said, they started in a van, and then a bus, and then the planes would come |
|
And they couldn't eat in restaurants, the bodyguards all had guns |
|
Stars and stages, fame and all the love |
|
Funny how life looks from above |
|
Well a cold day came when the industry let her down |
|
And all the handshakes and promises, buried without a sound |
|
Friends she thought she had, like the wind were gone |
|
She said I've got to admit it I loved it even though it's done |
|
When your face is pictured on the pages |
|
When your name is out there on the scene |
|
When your world is quickly rearranging |
|
Though your picture's disappearing from the pages of the magazines |
