Woke up to a call from out of the blue
They said
pack your bags, the screen's calling you
Left the small town in a rusty old car
Never thought I'd end up under those lights so far
Suddenly the world starts spinning faster
Heart racing like it's in a scene
That was the time I became a movie star
Lights flashing bright, dreams coming true from afar
Walking red carpets in borrowed shoes
Laughing with strangers who knew all the news
(oh yeah)
Scripts flying in, names on the marquee
Forgotten the quiet life that used to be me
New friends with smiles that don't reach their eyes
Chasing the spotlight under Hollywood skies
Cameras clicking every single move
Wondering if this dream will last
That was the time I became a movie star
Lights flashing bright, dreams coming true from afar Walking red carpets in
borrowed shoes
Laughing with strangers who knew all the news
(oh yeah)
But late at night
when the cameras are gone
I miss the simple days I left
behind (hummm)
That was the time I became a movie star
Lights flashing bright, dreams coming true from afar
Walking red carpets, now in my own shoes
Grateful for the ride,
win or lose (oh yeah)
Fading lights on a quiet drive home (ahhhh)
