Boy, you don't know me I'm a nobody Singin on the strip For a few pennies I got a busted string And broken guitar I've been singing 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 Well we don't got fame No name in lights No billboard hits No sold out nights We got dews to pay Tryna make a way Some of us wait on luck While 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 running Through the blood in my veins And it just makes me stay Oh it makes me say 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 Like in the shining stars, the shining stars Of Nashville Tennessee For those who are like me
