She comes
from Canada,
saved her money up
Workin' any old job
till she has enough
Fueled for the ride and cashed a goodbye
For a week or so, then she hit the road
Off to Nashville, along the way she'll
Play every coffee house and bar
for tips and a free meal
Ask her why she does
it, she'll tell you
Cause she loves it more than anything
Just listen to her sing
She goes, I'm headed for the big time
One day the song on the radio,
yeah, it's gonna be mine
I'm gonna bring this dream to life
for all time
Tryin' to fight it with everything I got
For one shot at the big time
Yeah, nah, nah, nah,
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
She was self -taught,
that old guitar she bought
Started spittin' out tunes
and she never stopped
Writin' down her words and melodies
She heard them talkin' note for note
Like they were already wrote
That was her life, not an easy life
Full of poverty, rejection, hard knocks,
and long nights
If you don't believe she
was born to sing
It doesn't have a choice,
just listen to her voice
She goes, I'm ready for the big time
One day the song on the radio
is gonna be mine
I'm gonna bring this dream to life
I've got triumph,
I'm with everything I've
For one shot at the big time
Yeah, na -na -na,
na -na -na -na -na
Yeah, na -na -n a, na -na -na -na -na
She
finally got a break,
make no mistake,
this overnight sensation
took a while to make
She's been singing it for years
and now you get to hear it on the radio
I'm headed for the big time,
one day this song on the radio,
yeah, is gonna be mine
I'm gonna bring this dream to life
Where I've got dry hair in my hair
With everything I've got
For one shot at the big time
Yeah, na -na -na, na -na -na -na -na
Yeah, na -na -na, na -na -na -na -na
Yeah, na -na you
