Lonestar - Lori McKenna

[00:16.93]All the geeks from high school
[00:19.22]Go on to become rock stars
[00:22.80]
[00:24.86]All the others reach their peak
[00:27.53]And then don't know who they are
[00:31.28]
[00:32.72]You can always find them at
[00:35.60]The bar downtown talking about the old days
[00:42.96]
[00:48.58]You bully boys would chase him
[00:50.86]Down the halls of that school
[00:55.26]
[00:56.57]The teachers didn't care
[00:58.70]'Cause they all wished they were cool
[01:03.43]
[01:04.63]You know you'd beat him senseless
[01:08.18]If you could, and you always could
[01:13.08]
[01:15.35]Kill the weak, lone star
[01:19.58]We all want to be popular
[01:22.62]
[01:23.51]Run him down and by some miracle
[01:27.02]
[01:28.07]We will all become beautiful
[01:34.15]
[01:40.29]Then the day comes when you hear
[01:42.92]His song on the radio
[01:46.40]
[01:48.15]You realize he never made it to the
[01:50.56]Five-year reunion a few years ago
[01:54.20]
[01:56.38]Where you sat back and drank a beer
[01:59.75]To the old class geek who's probably queer
[02:04.44]
[02:08.15]And the fat girl at the prom
[02:11.07]
[02:11.86]The one who had her mother's dress on
[02:14.72]
[02:15.80]She's smiling on the video
[02:18.93]And you're the cashier down at the old Texaco
[02:22.92]
[02:23.59]Kill the weak, lone star
[02:27.08]
[02:27.75]We all want to be popular
[02:30.78]
[02:31.73]Run him down and by some miracle
[02:35.35]
[02:36.07]We will all become beautiful
[02:41.84]
[02:48.73]So you got the day off today
[02:51.88]From that job that you hate
[02:54.41]
[02:56.41]Your ex-wife is leaving messages on your machine
[02:59.60]About how your alimony payment is late
[03:02.42]
[03:04.63]But the big arena's filling up for the show
[03:09.04]And you and the boys are gonna go
[03:12.83]
[03:15.32]Kill the weak, lone star
[03:18.79]
[03:19.65]We all want to be popular
[03:22.61]
[03:23.22]Run him down and by some miracle
[03:27.03]
[03:27.63]We will all become
