Story behind the song
It's about a girl with a dream. She moves to Nashville to become a star and is a great succes. However, in the end she realizes that in exchange for succes, she has lost her personal life.
Lyrics
She's cornbread well read misunderstood She's questioning everything She's well on her way but she don't know where She just needs to leave this place She's opened her mind and she's following her heart Away from this little town Where she can go on about her life Without worrying 'bout falling down She takes life too serious She's sweatin' the little things She's born and raised down in south Alabama In the back of a Chevrolet She idolizes Elvis She's dancin' his moves in the mirror She knows for sure that she could be a star If she could only get over the fear A thousand miles of road lay ahead With no care for how long it takes She's headed to Nashville to try to be a star She just needs that one big break She imagines herself on CMT She's writin' her thank you speech For people who told her her goals were too high And the talent was way out of reach Nobody takes her serious She's dyin' to prove them wrong When everyone sees her on the stage Singin' her favorite song She idolizes Elvis She's dancin' his moves in the mirror She knows for sure that she could be a star And her moment is drawing near Finally her moment of truth is here Her name is up in lights Ten thousand people have come to see Her sing every part just right Her fans all tell her they love her And she is there reason to be She's finally got everything that she wanted But she wishes that she could be free Why is the grass always greener On the other side of the fence We work so hard to be what we dream But our dreams don't always make senses She wanted to be like Elvis Did she really know what that meant She gave her life to chasing a dream But the dream became too intense Now she just wants her old life Back in that little town Where noone expected much from her But it's too late to turn back now
