Tin Star Lyrics - Tin Star - Lindi Ortega

Boy, you don't know me 

I'm a nobody 

Singin on the strip 

For a few pennies 

I got a busted string 

And broken guitar 

I've been singing for tips 

Down at the local bar 

Like an old tin star 

I'm beat up and rusty 

Lost in the shining stars 

Of Nashville, Tennessee 

Well I wrote this song 

For those who are like me 

Lost in the shining stars, the shining stars 

Well we don't got fame 

No name in lights 

No billboard hits 

No sold out nights 

We got dews to pay 

Tryna make a way 

Some of us wait on luck 

While some just pray 

Like an old tin star 

I'm beat up and rusty 

Lost in the shining stars 

Of Nashville Tennessee 

Well I wrote this song 

For those who are like me 

Lost in the shining stars, the shining stars 

Well if the music wasn't running 

Through the blood in my veins 

I might just walk away 

Oh I would walk away 

But the music keeps on running 

Through the blood in my veins 

And it just makes me stay 

Oh it makes me say
