Lori McKenna - Lone Star lyrics

LONE STAR by Lori McKenna All the geeks from high school go on to become rock stars All the others reach their peak and then don't know who they are You can always find them at the bar downtown talkin' 'bout the old days You bully boys would chase him down the halls of that school The teachers didn't care 'cause they all wished they were cool You know you'd beat him senseless if you could, and you always could k** the weak, lone star We all want to be popular Run him down and by some miracle We will all become beautiful... Then the day comes when you hear his song on the radio You realize he never made it to the five-year reunion a few years ago Where you sat back and drank a beer to the old cla** geek who's probably queer And the fat girl at the prom the one who had her mother's dress on She's smiling on the video and you're the cashier down at the old Texaco k** the weak, lone star We all want to be popular Run him down and by some miracle We will all become beautiful... So you got the day off today from that job that you hate Your ex-wife is leaving messages on your machine about how your alimony payment is late But the big arena's filling up for the show and you and the boys are gonna go k** the weak, lone star We all want to be popular Run him down and by some miracle We will all become beautiful... Tell all the pretty girls in the beer line
