| Star I sit here all alone at last The crowd has come and gone They came to see me in the flesh And listen to my songs But now, the concert is over The doors have been locked tight There's nobody around but me Why doesn't this feel right This is what I've always wanted The fame, the flash, the fans My songs played on all the stations But I'm not sure I can Continue on with this lifestyle Going from town to town Eating and sleeping on my bus Is just getting me down I've worked hard to get to this place I know that I can't stop But what they say is oh, so true It's lonely at the top |

| Kid Wars You say you're through You've had enough But I thought that You were so tough So, what's the prob I don't see it He's just a kid You can't just quit You promised you'd Watch him all week Can't you handle The lil pipsqueak Now, don't tell me A little kid Has done you in Oh no! He did! Aren't you the one That said you could Straighten him out Once and for good Didn't you say You'd slow him down Show him who's boss What's with the frown Can't take the truth It's hard, I know Don't feel too bad You're not alone We've all been there Casualties In this old war With the kiddies SO small, so sweet And innocent And though I know They're heaven sent I swear, at times They all grow horns You're not the first I swear, at times They all grow horns You're not the first That's battle worn But now you know How tough it is To be someone In the kid biz copyright � 5/22/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
