The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Face On The Cutting Room Floor lyrics

She's history No one would give her a star on the walk She'd have a hundred if pillows could talk Where have I seen her before? She's the face on the cutting room floor It's no mystery Acting in school at the tenderest age Lit up the room when she stepped on the stage Came to la for some more She's the face on the cutting room floor She had visions of contracts And thousands of people in line To see her; Knocking on door after door after all of this time Now she's not sure Up in hollywood Stayed with an agent she met in a bar Laughed when he told her he'd make her a star Where has she heard that before? She's the face on the cutting room floor One night he told her that she'd never get anywhere In her clothes That's what it takes to play movieland musical chairs Now she knows Goodbye hollywood Leaving tonight on the 2:30 'hound Sunrise or sunset she won't be around But they'll replace her with so many more She's the face on the cutting room floor Poor little face on the cutting room floor
