Lyrics:

I'm flat-busted
Wild-eyed and free
I couldn't get arrested if I tried
A has-been at a mere thirty-five
Straight, honest, forthright and true
Great expectations for someone
Doesn't anybody know how to have fun
But I'm
CHORUS:
gonna be a Big Star
I'm gonna be a Big Star someday
I'm gonna be a Big Star someday
Grape's bitter
I'm no quitter
Revolutions come one by one
Seems it's high noon and I ain't got no gun
But it's so hard
So hard
So hard getting by
CHORUS
Fine bourbon, Cuban cigars
Rude remarks observed at the C.C. Bar
I'm perfecting the finest art of wasting hours
But I'm
CHORUS
I'm gonna be a Big Star
I'm gonna be a Big Star someday
