Oh, you don't know me
I'm a nobody
I sing on the strip
For a few pennies
I got a busted string
And a broken guitar
I've been singing for tips
Down at the local bar
Like an old tin star, 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
And no sold out nights
We got dues to pay
Tryin' to make a way
Some of us wait on luck
While some just pray
Like an old tin star, 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 runnin' through the blood in my veins
I might just walk away, oh, I would walk away
But the music keeps on runnin' through the blood in my veins
And it just makes me stay, oh, it makes me stay
Like an old tin star, 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
Of Nashville, Tennessee
For those who are like me
